G5NR background
The GEOS-5 Nature Run (Ganymed release) is a 2-year global, non-hydrostatic mesoscale simulation for the period 2005-2006. In addition to standard meteorological parameters (wind, temperature, moisture, surface pressure), this simulation includes 15 aerosol tracers (dust, seasalt, sulfate, black and organic carbon), O3, CO and CO2. This model simulation is driven by prescribed sea-surface temperature and sea-ice, daily volcanic and biomass burning emissions, as well as high-resolution inventories of anthropogenic sources.

OPeNDAP client access
OPeNDAP is a data server architecture that allows users to use data files that are stored on remote computers with their favorite analysis and visualization tools. Opening an OPeNDAP file is as easy replacing the file name in the client software by an OPeNDAP URL. All G5NR collections that are provided by ftp/download-tool are also available on the OPeNDAP server
