Data from the NOMADS Data Request system can now be delivered in two ways:
-
A "Bulk Request" sends data to you as it is stored on
our archive, with no subsetting or processing by us.
If you need all forecast hours for a given time-frame,
selecting this option will allow us to deliver your data quicker.
-
A normal data requst, which allows you to select only the forecast
hours you need. Your data volume will be smaller, but may take
some time for us to process.
A bulk data request retrieves .tar files containing all
available variables and forecast hours for the selected date range.
All bulk requests are pulled from the offline archive.
