Welcome!
Please use this knowledge base to use ECMWF computing and archiving services, to address common problems and to search for best practices.
Due to the move of our Data Handling System (DHS) to the new Data Centre in Bologna there will be no or degraded access to some data in MARS and ECFS at times between June and October 2022. Please visit our dedicated data centre migration pages for more information.
