In order to use common software such as GrADS or Ferret to view the data, compressed with gathering as described on the main data page, some manipulation is necessary. Kristi Arsenault of the Hydrological Sciences Branch NASA GSFC has generously supplied some tools for importing this monthly data into GrADS, which can be downloaded here.
