OPeNDAP server issues: Error 500

by klobas » Sat Mar 08, 2025 3:37 pm America/New_York

Does anyone have information on the status of the OPeNDAP servers? Currently receiving the following error using a tool that was known to work in the past:

>BES Client Failed To Start. Message: 'Could not connect to host localhost on port 10022. Connection refused (Connection refused)'

An example URL that my tool would create would be:

https://goldsmr5.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/opendap/MERRA2/M2I3NVASM.5.12.4/1994/01/MERRA2_200.inst3_3d_asm_Nv.19940101.nc4.nc4?T[0:7][0:70][0:359][0:575],DELP[0:7][0:70][0:359][0:575],lat[0:359],time[0:7],lon[0:575],lev[0:70]

Trying to figure out if I'm generating malformed urls, if there's something weird on my side of my proxy, or what.

Hello,

We are examining your question now. We experienced some issues with the OPeNDAP servers recently.

Have you overcome this issue? The OPeNDAP URL works for me now. The MERRA-2 data is popular thus the data system was likely overcrowded with many requests. When you got the 500 error next time, please try it later.

If you used a command like wget to get the data, we suggest restricting the concurrent requests to no more than 3.
