Getting started for access to the Met Office MASS archive from JASMIN

Introduction

In order to access data held in the Met Office MASS archive you will need both

access to the mass-cli1 client machine on JASMIN (provided by the JASMIN team)
a MASS account (provided by the Met Office)

This means you have to undertake two different registration processes, so allow a couple of working days to get yourself set up.

You also need to identify a Met Office Senior Scientist to act as your sponsor.

For Met Office employees, this should be your manager.
For everyone else, the sponsor will need to be a Senior Met Office Scientist with whom you are working on a collaborative research project.

Steps you need to take

1: Apply for a JASMIN-specific MASS account from the Met Office
2: Apply for access to the mass-cli1 client machine from CEDA
3: Set up your JASMIN account for access to MASS
