Archived Meteorological Data Extract

Post by Meryll »

Hello,

I try to extract archived meteorological data but I don't know how doing to put GPS coordinates here.

I'm looking for data for this place : 14° 24' 38" N and 16° 57' 32".

Can you help me ?

Thank you by advance,

There was a bad URL in the link to convert the lat/lons. It has been corrected. Use this URL:

Thank you for your reply but when I do the extract with the decimal degrees, I have this error message :

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the website is under maintenance.

Thank you by advance for your help.

We need to know what numbers you put into the form in order to determine why you are getting the error. Please show a screen dump with the numbers on the form. Thanks.

In your first image, you need to define both the latitude and longitude of the lower left and upper right corners of the domain you want to extract. You are entering only 2 latitudes.

You can't use a comma ",", use a dot "." in the latitude and longitudes.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your help but when I open the .bin file and when I click on "contents of extracted meteorology file", I have this something not very readable..

How can I have the data in a file readable ?

Thank you very much by advance.
