ECMWF real-time forecasts

Description

These products are a subset of the ECMWF real-time forecast data and are made available to the public free of charge. They are based on the medium-range (high-resolution and ensembles) forecast models. Note: The ECMWF Open Data Portal provides a rolling archive (most recent forecast runs), while the AWS replica bucket is updated as new data are published and may retain older data conventions/versions over time.

Update Frequency

IFS data is published according to the real-time dissemination schedule, while AIFS data is published as soon as it is available for dissemination.
