Accessing data using your copy of NCL*

DODS allows one to give a application a url and have it directly download data. To read this data into NCL use 
addfile("http://kmddl.meteo.go.ke:8081/SOURCES/.Features/.Political/.Kenya/.gadm36_ken_2/cc_2/1+index/.name_1/dods","r")
If you have questions, comments, or problems please use the help@iri link. This page will evolve as we learn more about how NCL handles data downloads, and your help pointing out problems is much appreciated.


*DODS (a.k.a. OpenDAP) is not necessarily installed in NCL and if OpenDAP is not installed, giving NCL a URL instead of a local file name will result in a file-not-found error. In that case, you can use addfile after you download the netcdf file.
