The following news article has been posted by the CISL Research Data Archive at NCAR:

"Globus data transfers now available for custom data requests"

NCAR RDA users can now download subset data requests using the Globus data
transfer service. To initiate a Globus transfer, select the %E2%80%9CGlobus
download%E2%80%9D option from the data request download page. An e-mail from
Globus will then be sent to your RDA user e-mail address with a link to initiate
the data transfer.

A Globus account is required to use this service. Sign-up is free, and RDA users
may log into their Globus account using their RDA user e-mail and password after
registering for a Globus account. To do this, select %E2%80%9Calternate
login%E2%80%9D on the Globus login page, then select the %E2%80%9CNCAR
RDA%E2%80%9D alternate identity provider.

The Globus data transfer service uses the GridFTP protocol for data transfers
and provides a fast, easy, and reliable way to transfer data between two
endpoints. For more information on using Globus, see the Globus primer page at
www.globus.org/file-transfer [https://www.globus.org/file-transfer].
