Some cgi scripts used in the IPCC DDC site

There are four entry points from the site: downl, downl_form, ddc_nav, and query.

The downl script is used to retrieve files from the archive. It has a primitive user registration procedure.

http://apps.ipcc-data.org/cgi-bin/downl/ar4_nc/pr/GFCM21_1PTO2X_pr_oc20x.tar

This URL should initiate the download of the archive file /badc/ipcc-ddc/data/netcdf/ar4_v2/pr/GFCM21_1PTO2X_pr_oc20x.tar . The mapping from short codes such as ar4_nc in the cgi call to folders in the archive is defined in the cgi script.

This script is linked to from tables such as the one on IPCC 4th Assessment Report (2007): Model INM-CM3

The downl_form script is for files requested through a form .. the script parses the form data and compiles a call to downl.

Used by the CRU_TS 2.1 page (as a HTML form action).

The ddc_nav script provides a non-heierarchical browse interface for data collections with multiple facets. Once a file is selected, there is also an option for data sub-setting and extracting as a CSV files.

Linked to from Model output described in the 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (SRES scenarios), multi-year means (labelled as "DDC file navigator").

The query script simply provides a form through which users can submit a query.

Linked to from Technical Guidelines, Fact Sheets and other Supporting Material (we should probably retire this one).

Some obsolete scripts, retained for a while in case something has been overlooked
