I'm trying to download data from the following link

export ICTP_DATASITE='http://clima-dods.ictp.it/data/Data/RegCM_Data/EIN15/1990/'

These are the codes :

for type in "air hgt rhum uwnd vwnd"
do
    for hh in "00 06 12 18"
    do
       curl -o ${type}.1990.${hh}.nc \
       ${ICTP_DATASITE}/EIN15/1990/${type}.1990.${hh}.nc
    done
done

But its not downloading and im getting the following error message

Remove the double-quotes from the loop items in the for lines - you're iterating over single strings ("air hgt rhum uwnd vwnd" and "00 06 12 18"), not lists of items.

Also, type is a reserved word in bash. Use another variable name, e.g. t, instead.

Finally, you should always double-quote your variables when you use them.

Putting that all together, try this:

export ICTP_DATASITE='http://clima-dods.ictp.it/data/Data/RegCM_Data/EIN15/1990/'

for t in air hgt rhum uwnd vwnd; do
    for hh in 00 06 12 18; do
       curl -o "${t}.1990.${hh}.nc" \
       "${ICTP_DATASITE}/EIN15/1990/${t}.1990.${hh}.nc"
    done
done
