<p>Hello,</p>
<p>It seems the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/ecco_for_las/OCCA_1x1_v2/2004-6/">FTP
link for OCCA data</a>, provided on the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.ecco-group.org/products.htm">ECCO All Products
webpage</a>, now requires a password. I have a NASA Earthdata
Account (e.g. for accessing ECCOv4r4 data), but I have not found
OCCA data on that <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/drive/files">ECCO Drive</a>. I
use OCCA data myself as a useful test dataset for developing
algorithms, and I maintain a Python package that uses OCCA data
for running an example calculation: see <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://github.com/geoffstanley/neutralocean/blob/main/neutralocean/examples/load_OCCA.py" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://github.com/geoffstanley/neutralocean/blob/main/neutralocean/examples/load_OCCA.py</a>,
which used to automatically download two OCCA files, but now
throws an authentication error. <br>
</p>
<p>Please let me know if there is still a way to access OCCA data.
Is there a password for an anonymous login? Ideally, OCCA data can
be downloaded without having to sign up for an account, which
makes my script much easier for users to run. If a user does need
to create an account to get OCCA data, is it allowed (legal) for
me to upload these two OCCA files to a permanent file hosting
service like Zenodo or Figshare?</p>
<p>Thanks very much,<br>
Geoff</p>
<p>P.S. Sorry to send this to both emails; not sure who's remit this
falls under. <br>
