+#
+# NOTE: Compressed tar.gz files containing all .nc files for 
+# a tile are separately available at the above address.
+# Downloading the tar.gz files is far faster should you
+# require all available data for a tile. 
+# 
+# Tile IDs must be provided either as a range
+# of values, or as a space seperated list. Tile IDs may
+# be determined from the Daymet mask of the conterminous 
+# United States, visible for example at:
+# http://daymet.ornl.gov/gridded
+#
+# Methods using wget and curl are shown. Each uses a resaonable
+# rate limit for downloading data. Users attempting to download
+# data at higher rates may be rate limited by the server. 
+#
+# The example downloads the vp.nc file for given year and tile
+# ranges. You may change vp.nc to be any of the following: 
+# vp.nc, tmin.nc, tmax.nc, swe.nc, srad.nc, prcp.nc, dayl.nc

+# Data is also available via the THREDDS web interface at:

+Access to Daymet data is available on a number of different levels and formats allowing a rich resouce of both daily surface meteorological data and climatological summaries to students, educators, and researchers. The way in which a user accesses the data will depend on their needs.  Direct links to each of the Data Access options are provided on the project Home Page at:
