DODS download for $partialdiff sub X$ $partialdiff sub Y$ detrended-bfl [ Rwanda RAB soil TAW60 ]

Accessing data using your copy of ferret

DODS allows one to give a application a url and have it directly download data. To read this data into ferret use

set data "http://maproom.meteorwanda.gov.rw/SOURCES/.Rwanda/.RAB/.soil/.TAW60/%5BY+%5Ddetrend-bfl/Y+partial/X+partial/dods"

If ferret refuses to read the file, saying

** netCDF error: Invalid Argument
 is this a CDF file ?

it is quite possible that you can use set data after you download the netcdf file.

If you have questions, comments, or problems please use the help@iri link. This page will evolve as we learn more about how Ferret handles data downloads, and your help pointing out problems is much appreciated.

There is a bug in ferret which is corrected in release 6.0 (see notes about "nonstandard calendar axes"). Please upgrade if you are using monthly data.
