Sample code
- tds.get_d1_netcdf.sh - This routine is a BASH script which demonstrates how to download an entire year of D1 data. All variables are downloaded and each netCDF file is 9 MB.
- tds.get_d1_netcdf_part.sh - This routine is a BASH script which demonstrates how to download an entire year of D1 data. Only variables which are requested are downloaded. This is performed by requesting the variable names in the script. This will save you from downloading variables you do not need. It also saves space since each variable is 43 kB.
