The search interface has been updated. Now the map used in the search box supports more map projections, including a southern and northern hemisphere map. Furthermore, the search interface has been further restructured and prepared for more faceted searchs (e.g. by institutions) in the future. The business logic supproting transformations has also received some upgrades, but many of these will first be fully visible once the backend services are updated as well.

The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) have developed a number of templates following the CF and ACDD conventions as requested by the YOPP guidelines. Further information on these templates are available at https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/data/formats/netcdf/v2.0/.

Meteo-France has extracted ARPEGE data over the Southern Hemisphere YOPP supersites. These data are now available on the ftp site ftp.umr-cnrm.fr (user: yopp / password: Arpege). Change working directory to YOPP-SH where NetCdf-MIP contains the output for the supersites using the exact  same format as used for the YOPP-NH super site (now available on the YOPP Data Portal). In addition 3D fields are output in a GRIB format (under YOPP-SH/3DFIELDS) as well. Inclusion of the SH data as NetCDF/CF in the YOPP Data portal is currently in progress.

The first PAMIP data are now available through https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/CMIP6/ArchiveStatistics/esgf_data_holdings/. These data are important for PPP and YOPP. Further information is available in https://www.geosci-model-dev.net/12/1139/2019/.
