Dear RegCNet colleagues,

Recently I downloaded the ERA-Interim atmospheric data from the ICTP site and it appears that the files for the year 1990 are corrupted. The length of the files is shorter than for the other years, and 'ncdump' produces an error message, e.g., "ncdump: air.1990.00.nc: NetCDF: Unknown file format."

These files were taken from http://clima-dods.ictp.it/data/d9/ERAIN150/1990 (which is linked from http://users.ictp.it/~pubregcm/RegCM4/globedat.htm )

I tried re-downloading the files for 1990 and still get the same error. The files for all of the other years appear to be intact.

Can anyone else replicate this error? Also is there another source for the ERA-Interim data?

Thanks
Ray Arritt
