I am guessing that you don't need to get the whole volume of the dataset, only a few parameters and on specific layers. In this case, you can certainly run the IDV to export the data interactively or bashing mode. The old NOMADS TDS system was decommissioned and you can access the model data from the following URL: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/thredds/model/model.xml Yuan Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: DMK-604062 Department: Support IDV Priority: Low Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
