Data

Needs reviewing

From last year's workshop, each field ~ 100Kb. Total size of 'data' and 'data_ls' directories was:5.5G, 1.4G respectively , total of 7Gb.

2015 workshop VM, df reports 40Gb /, 28% used (27G)

Analyses:

Geopotential, temperature,  winds (U/V) @ (200 or 250), 500, (850 or 925) hPa

PV + wind (U/V) @ 330 K isentrope  isentrope (see Fig.10 in paper) ( Frédéric asked for geopotential/winds at 1.5PVU but I don't think we archive these?)
