Dear Bingxin,

Thank you very much for your interest in this work and I'm sorry for the slow reply - I have been travelling this week.

Unfortunately I am not able to redistribute these datasets due to licensing issues. However, you can get some of them direct from the data supplier.

For ORCA025, you can download data files from MyOcean. Go to www.myocean.eu and search the catalogue for "GLOBAL_REANALYSIS_PHYS_001_010" (as a keyword). This dataset uses the same curvilinear grid as the one I tested (the data values may be different but this isn't important). You will need to register with MyOcean to download data though.

You could see if you can download some METEOSAT data from EUMETSAT. I'm not sure how to do this I'm afraid.

For the "UCA" dataset, this is a very small dataset and may not be very interesting. It was provided to me by a colleague but I don't think I can pass it on.

You could email the Climate and Forecast community mailing list (cf-metadata at cgd.ucar.edu) and ask if anyone has any curvilinear datasets they could share with you.

Good luck!

Best wishes,
Jon

Dear Dr. Blower,

I am a fresh PhD student in Computer Science from National University of Singapore (NUS). I am now studying regridding algorithms, which are new to me.

I have read your paper 'Fast regridding of large, complex geospatial datasets', and would like to apply some techniques in the paper. It would be nice for me to work on real datasets, such as the ones used in your study (UCA, ORCA025, METEOSAT).

I wonder if these datasets are publicly available to download or I could apply some permission to use part of it.

Thank you for your time reading the email.

Actually I have sent you the above email several days ago, but you did not reply. So I send it again just to remind you. I am looking forward to your reply soon and thanks a lot.

Best Regards,
Bingxin
