A user can easily
install the MERSEA Download desktop application on its desktop. Thanks
to it the user is able to browse and save as netCDF file subsets of the
distributed MERSEA data repositories.
A user-friendly
interface (GUI) is provided so that a user can browse datasets and
select subset easily. The user can then save the selected subset as a
local netCDF file or get the OPeNDAP resources URL and use it into a
data analysis tool.
When a user is an
operational application, the software can be called in batch mode and
the 'search/subset/save as netCDF' functions can be requested
programmatically.
You can download and install it from the
Ifremer ftp site :
