== The User Data Gateway (UDG) ==

The User Data Gateway (UDG) is the main access point to the different [http://www.meteo.unican.es/dataservices data services] provided by the Santander Meteorology group. The UDG builds on a a THREDDS Data Server (UDG-TDS) and on a web portal for user authorization (the THREDDS Administration Portal, UDG-TAP). In addition to the standard web interface to explore and download the datasets, the UDG includes different (R and Matlab) packages for accessing remotely subsets of the data.
