You will find below answers to some common questions about PMIP. Please let us know if you have not found what you were looking for!
The PMIP binary files are in auto-documented NetCDF format, and each
file has a header that gives, among other things, the grid size, and
the values of the coordinates. You should read the paragraphs about the
binary and the text files on the database file
formats page to learn how to
access the data.
You can find NetCDF related tools on
the Links web page.
Most of the the links to other web sites will open in a new window. This window is the same for all the external links. So, if you have already opened such a window and iconified or hidden it, you won't see new information appearing in the window. You have to click on the window to reopen it.
Creating a bookmark the usual way will only bookmark the PMIP home
page. In order to bookmark a specific page, you first have to open it
in a new window (instead of having it displayed in the right frame, as
usual), and only then bookmark the page.
To open a page in a new window, select something like Open link
in new window by right-clicking on the link instead of clicking
on it the usual way (left button).
Once you are on the new page, you can always go back to the PMIP home
page by clicking on Home at the bottom of the page.
You can also open the PMIP navigation frame in a small window by
clicking here, and all the
other PMIP links will appear in a frameless window that you can easily
bookmark.
This is very unlikely... Well, just kidding! Please send a detailed mail about it to the webmaster.
As soon as possible! :) At least as soon as the site is stable enough so that everything can be translated in one go, and as soon as we can pay somebody to do it!
