  • ECMWF Data Store - https://data.ecmwf.int/forecasts/{{batch_date:%Y%m%d}}/{{batch_date:%H}}z/0p4-beta/{{product}}/{{batch_date:%Y%m%d%H}}0000-{{step}}h-{{product}}-{{datatype}}.grib2
  • aws s3 - s3://ecmwf-forecasts/{{batch_date:%Y%m%d}}/{{batch_date:%H}}z/0p4-beta/{{product}}/{{batch_date:%Y%m%d%H}}0000-{{step}}h-{{product}}-{{datatype}}.grib2 (from 2023-01-18 to now)

• NOAA - The data includes deterministic forecasts(gfs), ensemble forecasts(gefs) and wave forecasts(gfswave).

  • nomads - https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.{{batch_date:%Y%m%d}}/{{batch_date:%H}}/atmos/gfs.t{{batch_date:%H}}z.pgrb2.0p25.f{{step:03}}
  • aws s3 - s3://noaa-gfs-bdp-pds/gfs.{{batch_date:%Y%m%d}}/{{batch_date:%H}}/gfs.t{{batch_date:%H}}z.pgrb2.0p25.f{{step:03}} (from 2021-02-26 to now)
  • ftp - ftp://ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/

• DWD ICON - ICON global, ICON-EU and high-resolution regional products from Deutscher Wetterdienst covering the globe and Europe.

  • Open Data hub - https://opendata.dwd.de/weather/nwp/icon/{{domain}}/grib/{{cycle}}/{{run_date:%Y%m%d}}/{{run_hour:%H}}/icon{{domain_suffix}}_{{forecast:03}}_{{level}}_{{parameter}}.grib2
  • HTTPS-only access; no official FTP mirror is provided by DWD for ICON open data.

📎 Observation Data 📡

📌 Station Oberservation

• NOAA ISD - Global hourly and synoptic station data curated by NCEI.
  • HTTPS - https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/global-hourly/access/{{year}}/{{usaf}}-{{wban}}.csv
  • FTP - ftp://ftp.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/noaa/{{year}}/{{usaf}}-{{wban}}-{{year}}.gz

📌 Reanalysis

📗 Packages & Softwares

📎 Data IO

📌 GRIB

• eccodes - A package developed by ECMWF which provides an application programming interface for decoding and encoding messages in GRIB 1/2 and BUFR 3/4 format.
• pygrib - A high-level wrapped interface to the eccodes library for reading GRIB files.
• cfgrib - Python interface to read GRIB files as xarray datasets using ecCodes.
• wgrib2 - Command line utility for manipulating and querying GRIB2 files.

📌 netCDF

• netcdf-c - The C interfaces for the Unidata network Common Data Form (netCDF), which is a self-describing, network-transparent, directly accessible, and extendible data format.
• netcdf4-python - Python/numpy interface to the netCDF C library.
• xarray - Labeled multi-dimensional arrays built on netCDF data structures.
• netCDF-Java - Java library and tools for reading, writing, and remote access of netCDF, HDF, and related data formats.
