Documentation:

• summary: Real-time meteorological data assimilations with CONUS coverage at 10km resolution produced hourly by CAPS at OU. The List of contents provides the OPeNDAP URLs for the files within the collection. They have a form: http://lead.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/nph-dods/test-data/ADAS/OU/ad{date}.nc where {date} has the form: YYYYMMDDHH and indicates the hour for which the data assimilation is valid.
