Hi Katie,


If you have the model data on you local file system then you would access it 
through the Files Chooser.

You can also access model data remotely from the Catalogs chooser. Unidata has 
a number of Thredds Data Servers (TDS) that provide access to real-time model 
data. For more information see:

You can also set up your own TDS server:
