Other Available File Formats

Full Information Formats These files contain all of the available metadata.
OPeNDAP	A system which downloads data directly to software, such as matlab, Ferret, GrADS, etc. Specific instructions are available in the table above. Note: OPeNDAP was formerly known as DODS (Distributed Oceanographic Data System). More Information
netCDF (network Common Data Form)	A commonly supported self-describing data format. More Information

Partial Information Formats These files contain only some of the available metadata.
Columnar Table	A table with separate columns of numbers for each independent variable (i.e., grids) and for the data. This columnar table is available in a variety of file and column formats here. Note: By setting the helper for mime-type text/tab-separated-values, you can have this loaded directly into your favorite spreadsheet. This file will be approximately 20856 bytes, with 2 columns of 2607 numbers.

Data Only Formats These files contain just the data without any of the available metadata.
Binary direct access	A big-endian, ieee single-precision file in floating-point format. Also known as a binary random access file. This is a random-access file; it is purely data with no record-structuring information. The data is structured to correspond to the independent variables (i.e., grids) in objectid order, with the first grid varying the fastest.
DEC ALPHA direct access	Same as the binary random/direct access format above except that it is byte-swapped for DEC ALPHA's and PC's (little-endia
