1. Go to an OPeNDAP server, e.g. opendap.deltares.nl. A growing list of external OPeNDAP servers is here. OpenEarth has two implementations of OPeNDAP operational running on exactly the same file server: THREDDS and HYRAX. Because they serve the exact same data, it does not matter which one you choose, we choose THREDDS here, because that one seems to have a wider use.
   
2. scroll down the directories: we chose to sort by owner, and then by data name.
   
3. Once you hit netCDF files (*.nc),
   
   click on it
   • after which you can choose for old-fashioned plain download (2. download), not recommended, as the netCDF files might web very big (GBs):
     
   • or access meta-info through the OPeNDAP protocol (1. opendap). For some datasets we provide Google Earth overviews which takes you directly via a deep-link to this meta-info page.
