[Bessig] Data Rescue and the shutdown

[Cathy Smith]

All

The shutdown is over (for now at least) so we don't need the data now. 
But it would be good if one could get the data if there is another 
shutdown or if something else happens. To do that, the data would 
ideally need to be updated to near present and any data fixes applied. 
Also, the name of the archive/URL would need to be published. And of 
course it would have to be hosted on a non federal govt computer.

The specific types of data people I knew wanted were the NCAR Reanalysis 
(NCAR has this but not in the PSD format), Gridded SST data like the 
ERSST, OLR, gridded precipitation (CMAP, GPCP), Also station data like 
the GHCN-M at NCEI. But I'm sure other scientists at universities had 
other specific data needs.

During the government shutdown I thought perhaps NOAA data could be obtained from the archives of those data rescue activities for use by university and other non federal scientists. But I didn't see any reference anywhere during the shutdown to the data that was rescued.
