Specification of time range
Please select the time range for your product order as well as your intended product format. Please be reminded that Climate Data Records are available as NetCDF only.
Furthermore you may decide between uniquely ordering (specification of time range necessary) and standing ordering, i.e. you will receive products on a daily/weekly/monthly basis created on the day before from today onwards until you cancel the standing order; the frequency of data delivery depends on the chosen time resolution of your product. Please note that Climate Data Records cannot be ordered continuously.
