Hi there,

Currently, ECMWF data is not available through an existing LDM feed, meaning we 
would have to
create some sort of data scraping process in order to ingest it into our IDD.  
From there, the
dataset unfortunately uses some Grib parameters in a different way than are 
common for other 
model datasets, so if we were to ingest it into our EDEX we would further have 
to alter the
data as to not clobber existing models.

We have a coworker looking into the licensing and data access currently, but I 
can't guarantee
it's something we'll add into our public EDEX. 
If you're running your own EDEX though, we already have an AWIPS Tips blog post 
detailing how 
to add it into your EDEX:

Thanks.
