Due to restrictions of the storage resources, the directories for the period from January 1971 to September 1980 (for all categories) will be moved.
  • Following this move, a switch of the symbolic links under the JRA-55/Hist/Daily directory will take place on 11 December 2017, 04-06 UTC.
  • Please be informed that the symbolic links to the directories for the aforementioned period will be temporarily disconnected during this switch.
