PanGet

PanGet creates a shell script to download an individual collection of datasets from PANGAEA. The script uses the programs wget and PanGet. The program wget downloads a dataset specified by its PANGAEA dataset ID. Between two calls of wget the program PanCheck stops the progress for 2 seconds and checks the file downloaded by the script before. Installation shown by the GUI as Programme/Dienstprogramme). A good place for PanGet is the program directory (Applications or Programme on German systems). name of the shell script (e.g. C:\JGOFS\PanGet). PanGet creates the script and deletes all entries in the dialog. datasets) or Parameter is equal to “Silicate [mymol/l]” (10,247 datasets)) and store the resulting list as a text file on your computer, let’s say in C:\SINOPS. Attention: 4D can download only a maximum of 30,000 data sets in one list. Start the program PanGet and browse to the file you created before. Click the OK button and set the name of the shell script (e.g. C:\NECLIME\neclime). Now you can close PanGet, start a terminal and navigate to the directory where you stored the shell script file. Start the script by typing “./name of the shell script file” (e.g. ./neclime). The shell script downloads all datasets specified by PanGet. This may take some time depending on the number and size of datasets. A collection of files may be converted to an other format, e.g. Ocean Data View using Pan2Applic.
