Summary

Abstract: The National Meteorological Center uses binary packed data set organization when storing gridded data files. Different grid sizes are available (octogonal mercator and polar sterographic) for both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. This binary format is used for storage of arrays of data, of typically gridded fields. In this format, fullword (32 bit 360/195) floating numbers are scaled and ...

Purpose: To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public.
