This is the fourteenth ECMWF-users' newsletter. To get copies of previous newsletters, use anonymous FTP to ncardata.ucar.edu [128.117.8.111] and change directory to datasets/ds111.2/news. Or, use a WWW client such as Mosaic and open http://www.ucar.edu/dss. Select "Dataset information" and you can then get into the ECMWF information via the information on ds111.2 (under the "frequently used datasets" or the menu of all datasets). 28 September 1994 CONTENTS: o Basic Consolidated dataset (ds111.2) updated through June 1994 o Basic Consolidated Monthly Means dataset (ds111.5) updated through June 1994 o 1994 Technical Attachment to data description available for users o New Data Services contact at ECMWF o New WWW URL for NCAR's Data Support Section ============================================================================ Basic Consolidated dataset (ds111.2) update The Basic Consolidated dataset (ds111.2) has been updated with the April - June 1994 data. You can get the full list of VSNs from the MASTER file in the /datasets/ds111.2 directory in the ftp area on ncardata.ucar.edu. ============================================================================ Basic Consolidated Monthly Means dataset (ds111.5) update The Basic Consolidated Monthly Means dataset (ds111.5) has been updated with means calculated from the January - June 1994 data. No quality control was done, so if you detect problems with either this dataset or the source dataset (ds111.2) please notify me. You can get the full list of VSNs from the MASTER files from the ftp area on ncardata.ucar.edu. ============================================================================ 1994 Technical Attachment to data description available A new version of the Technical Attachment to the Description of the ECMWF/WCRP Level III-A Global Atmospheric Data Archive was received from ECMWF, as described in the previous bulletin. I have had copies made for distribution, so if you need this document, you can email me your mailing address, rather than applying to ECMWF as I suggested in the previous bulletin. ============================================================================ New Data Services contact at ECMWF For those of you who deal directly with ECMWF, Kathy Rider is no longer at ECMWF. Keith Fielding is taking over Data Services, and should be contacted with requests for data or documentation that NCAR cannot supply. He can be reached at keith.fielding@ecmwf.co.uk, by telephone at +44 1734 499111, or by mail at ECMWF, Shinfield Park, Reading/Berkshire, RG2 9AX United Kingdom. ============================================================================ New WWW URL for NCAR's Data Support Section Software and documentation for the ECMWF/TOGA and other datasets at NCAR have been available by a WWW interface to our ftp area for some time. I am pleased to announce that we now have space on the main NCAR http server. We can now be reached by opening the URL http://www.ucar.edu/dss. ============================================================================ If you would like to be taken off this mailing list, please contact me. If you are interested in ordering any ECMWF/TOGA data, or any other data from NCAR's archives, please contact me. I can be reached at ilana@ncar.ucar.edu or by phone at (303)497-1214.
