Procedure for Selecting Data
Procedure for downloading Data
- Probably easiest to do this from linux. I found lftp is a simple ftp program that I've been using for retrieving some Japanese data over FTP.
- once installed... change to the directory you wish to download into:
$ cd /home/bob/Documents/barrow_arm/sensor1/
- start up lftp:
bob@elephant ~/Documents/barrow_arm/sensor1 $ lftp ftp.archive.arm.gov
- change to the proper remote directory:
lftp ftp.archive.arm.gov:~> cd youchae1/174468_extractedData
- download the data:
lftp ftp.archive.arm.gov:/youchae1/174468_extractedData> mget *
Reformatting the Data
Ross has made a Python tool to get from netCDF files to csv. It's part of the standard DataPro tool suite.
- https://github.com/rwspicer/csv_utilities
- From a command line... where you wish these files to appear:
git clone https://github.com/rwspicer/csv_utilities.git
- Then, the file for this one is rad_decoder.py
- more to come once I hash this out...
