+Getting the data currently means putting in a start/stop time at
+<a href="http://mirador.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/mirador/homepageAlt.pl?keyword=AIRX2RET">this web page</a>.  The keyword is <tt>AIRX2RET</tt> and put in
+the time range of interest and optionally a geographic region.  
+Each file contains 6 minutes of data, is
+about 2.3 Megabytes, and globally there are 240 files/day 
+(about 550 Megabytes/day).
+There are additional options for getting only particular variables of
+interest, but the current reader expects whole files to be present.
+Depending on your connection to the internet, there are various options
+for downloading.  We have chosen to download a <tt>wget</tt> script which is
+created by the web page after adding the selected files to a 'cart' 
+and 'checking out'.  The script has a series of <tt>wget</tt> commands
+which downloads each file, one at a time, which is run on the machine
+where you want the data to end up.
