Hi Ari,

As Lansing mentions, tds.ucar.edu is not a server that Unidata manages. I 
believe it is managed by the ESG group here at NCAR. I'm not sure who to 
contact for support regarding that server but you might try this ESG page

http://www.earthsystemgrid.org/

There is a "Create Account" link in the quick links section on the right side 
of that page. Also, there is a "Contact Us" link at both the top and the bottom 
of that page.

Hope that helps,

Ethan
