- casual use, the "demo" allows easy access to the "maps",
as fast and easy like the proverbial atlas - the GrADS user, the data is compatible with GrADS which can
do computations and produce publication-quality graphics. A
GrADS user can be looking at the data in seconds! - other serious users, most of the data is in GRIB which can be
easily converted into IEEE, binary or text.
Compatibility
The Annual Reanalysis CD-ROM will work on the follow computers
- "demo"
- MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows95
- some UNIX machines (with GrADS installed)
- untested: WindowsNT, OS/2
- some UNIX machines (with GrADS installed)
- GrADS (index files, control files)
- MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows95
- HP/SGI/SUN Workstations
- Linux (i386) boxes
- untested: IBM RISC workstations, Apple PPC, WindowsNT, OS/2
- Alpha: will have to remake the index files
- HP/SGI/SUN Workstations
- GV (GrADS viewer, print, export to clipboard)
- Windows 3.1 (16 bit version)
- Windows95 (32 bit version, can run from demo)
- untested: WindowsNT, OS/2
- Windows95 (32 bit version, can run from demo)
- wgrib (GRIB decoder)
- all reasonable 32+ bit computers with ANSI/ISO C compiler,
tested on: Alpha, Amiga, Cray, HP, Linux, MS-DOS, SGI, SUN, Windows - Data Files
- GRIB is machine independent
- cross-sections are f77 IEEE. However, can be computed from GRIB data.
