Hi Sylvain, > I was just wondering if there was a plan to include the new available > fields from ECMWF to the motherlode ftp and opendap for example ? We do not currently distribute any ECMWF data on motherlode and we don't have any plans to do so. There are a number of restrictions on the redistribution of ECMWF data. So that we don't have to worry about those restrictions, we don't make the data available on motherlode. > Indeed, on the ECMWF site, the 168-240h forecasts are now available > freely in every run.

We get the data that is distributed on the NOAAPort system which I think is taken off the GTS. Though I'm not sure if it is all that goes out on the GTS. I think all we get is a fairly low resolution global model run. Ethan Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: JBK-163062 Department: Support THREDDS Priority: Normal Status: Open
