Netcdf data files produced within a given simulation and uploaded here constitute the dataset of such simulation.
When netcdf files are upload info about them are automatically inserted into a database which can be searched using this web site.
As of , the MED-CORDEX database is made of:
- netcdf data files, also named Med-CORDEX files or simply files
- GB of data
Authorized users
- search the database on the web and see the ncdump -h of any file
- download any file
- execute (at home) cdo, ncdump, ferret (as well as any other openDAP client) on any Med-CORDEX file withouth the need to store them at home
- execute (on this web site) cdo on any Med-CORDEX file and then download home only the resulting output file
- use the Med-CORDEX TDS (THREDDS Data Server) and its GIS services (WCS and WMS)
Med-CORDEX database has three kinds of authorized users:
- data providers: people allowed to upload their data to Med-CORDEX database. They use the credentials setup by Med-CORDEX staff.
- medcordex users: people who requested access to Med-CORDEX database. They use the credentials they requested using this form.
- HyMeX users: Anyone having mistral db credentials. They use the credentials setup and managed by HyMeX mistral db.
Unauthorized users
- search the database and get ncdump -h info about each file
- browse the Med-CORDEX TDS (THREDDS Data Server)
