Hi,
I am currently trying to download a lot of data from the NASA MERRA2 project.
They are providing daily files of a set of variables in the nc4 format. According to Link 1 it is (was?) possible to directly access single variables inside of the file with ascii format at MERRA.
A am wondering if it is still possible with Merra2, if yes:
How do I access this data? I prefer to work with wget to bulkdownload the files via matlab.
I have found some Merra2-Files via OPENDAP, but unfortunately not the ones that I need (M2T1NX...)
Can anyone please help me with this issue? downloading 20TB of data for variables with are in total 1TB seems to much for me.

Hi Peter
I expect you should be able to do exactly the same thing with MERRA2 as you have done with MERRA, providing you know the data fields you are looking for. I have added a file with the data specifications for Merra2, from which you should be able to construct your argument for data download.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Bob
