ECMWF Open Data

ECMWF just tweeted that they’re making more of their data free and accessible via api.

Any chance this could result in the ECMWF model data eventually being added? Or is the “good stuff” that Flowx would require still pay-to-play?

This is great news. Previously ECMWF only released data in 12 hours steps which was too course. This data is 3 hour time steps bu the resolution is 0.4 degrees (~40km) instead of the 0.1 degree (~9km) true resolution of the ECMWF model. Still, this is useful.

I think this would be good in the free version of Flowx. This is exciting.

BTW, thanks for letting me know about this.

Glad to hear this might be of use! (And also glad they’re being more open with their data). Hope this can eventually bring in even more users!
