Problems with FTP data access

Post by realcmw »

I can't access the NCEP/NCAR data via FTP. Is it possible to access this data using wget?

What computing system are you using? There are multiple ways to access the data. If you would prefer command line access, you can type ftp ftp.arl.noaa.gov and use anonymous as the login, and your email as the password. Then you can navigate to the appropriate meteorological data. If you are on a mac and would prefer to do it through finder, I can guide you to gather the data with that method as well.

On Windows, you can use a ftp client, such as FileZilla.

you can use wget. e.g.

Code: Select all

wget ftp://ftp.arl.noaa.gov/archives/gfs0p25/20200618_gfs0p25
