Hi David,I tried to access the server, but found that it is password protected. It seems however that you must have accessed it to get the metadata. Do you have a username/password? Does ferret allow you to access password accounts?PeterOn Apr 15, 2008, at 8:49 PM, David Wang wrote:Hi Ferreters,
I wonder if anyone has ever successfully accessed the opendap server for IPCC AR4 model output (http://esgcet.llnl.gov/dap/ipcc4) in FERRET. I tried, for instance in FERRET V6.1:
yes? use "http://username:passwd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/cgi-bin/dap-cgi.py/ipcc4/20c3m/mri_cgcm2_3_2a/pcmdi.ipcc4.mri_cgcm2_3_2a.20c3m.run1.ocn.mo.xml"
but failed:
**Internet Data error
(OPeNDAP/netCDF Error code 1001)
While dncdump -h can correctly display the meta data of the above opendap URL. I wonder if this is because FERRET cannot deal with authorized opendap access. Those U.S. models require no authorization, and FERRET can access them, for example,
yse? use "http://esgcet.llnl.gov/cgi-bin/dap-cgi.py/ipcc4/20c3m/gfdl_cm2_0/pcmdi.ipcc4.gfdl_cm2_0.20c3m.run1.ocn.mo.xml"
yse? show data
currently SET data sets:

THETAO Potential Temperature 1:360 1:200 1:50 1:1680
I intended to save a regional subset of the model output (the global data are too huge), and thought FERRET would do.
Thank you,
David
