== ECMWF Meterology (New Batch Access) == Beta batch access to the ECMWF Interim data fields are now available. The webpage access for this service is here: http://data-portal.ecmwf.int/data/d/interim_daily - here you can register for access to the data, which will give you your own token associated with your email address. Example python and perl scripts are provided by the website, as well as the communication modules. On hyperbar the perl scripts have been saved in {{{/usr/local/share/perl}}}. One difference with the old method is that we don't know how to extract surface and volume data in the same file. Some modifications will be needed for the WPS scripts (see next page). Example script: {{{#!python #!/usr/bin/perl -I/usr/local/share/perl use ECMWF::DataServer; use Date::Calc qw(Add_Delta_Days Delta_Days); no strict; my $client = ECMWF::DataServer->new( portal => 'http://data-portal.ecmwf.int/data/d/dataserver/', token => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', email => 'xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx', ); # set dates for data extraction - summer RONOCO @date = (2011,01,12); @enddate = (2011,01,25); while (Delta_Days(@date,@enddate) >= 0){ $year = @date[0]; $month = @date[1]; $day = @date[2]; $datestr=sprintf("%d-%02d-%02d",$year,$month,$day); # extract volume data $client->retrieve( dataset => "interim_full_daily", date => "$datestr", time => "00/06/12/18", step => "0", levtype => "pl", levelist => "all", area => "70/-30/30/20", type => "an", grid => "128", param => "129/130/131/132/157", target => "pl_${datestr}.grb", ); # extract surface data $client->retrieve( dataset => "interim_full_daily", date => "$datestr", time => "00/06/12/18", step => "0", levtype => "sfc", area => "70/-30/30/20", type => "an", grid => "128", param => "172/134/151/165/166/167/168/235/33/34/31/141/139/170/183/236/39/40/41/42", target => "sfc_${datestr}.grb", ); # move to next day ($year,$month,$day) = Add_Delta_Days($year,$month,$day,1); @date=($year,$month,$day); } }}} |
ECMWF Meterology, and how to get it.
This page details the methods used to download meterology data from ECMWF, both from their website, and from their data servers.
Website Access for Interim (and other data) and batch scripts for downloading
ECMWF meteorology data is now accessible from their website.
The first time you want to access this data you will need to register here to get a token and key: https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/WEBAPI/Access+ECMWF+Public+Datasets
These you should put into a file in you home directory called: .ecmwfapirc
{ "url" : "https://api.ecmwf.int/v1", "key" : "###############", "email" : "XXXX@YYYY.ac.uk" }
Then register for particular database by clicking on relavent link (e.g. for interim data).
Once you have done the above then you can start downloading the meteorology data.
Set up your environment following instructions on the website e.g. export PYTHONPATH=/Users/scott_a_n/ecmwf-api-client-python
Copy this script - which will download the data needed by WPS - and change the dates (idate and edate) to match your period of interest.
1 #!/usr/bin/env python
2
3 import time
4 from datetime import date
5
6 # export PYTHONPATH = /usr/bin/ecmwfapi
7 from ecmwfapi import ECMWFDataServer
8
9 server = ECMWFDataServer()
10
11 # Set dates for data extraction - SAMBBA campaign period
12 idate = date(2012,07,01)
13 edate = date(2012,10,31)
14
15 while (idate <= edate):
16
17 iyear = idate.year
18 imonth = idate.month
19 iday = idate.day
20
21 strdate = "%d%02d%02d" % (iyear, imonth, iday)
22 print strdate
23
24 # extract 3D data
25 server.retrieve({
26 'dataset' : "interim",
27 'step' : "0",
28 'levtype' : "pl",
29 'levelist': "all",
30 'date' : strdate,
31 'time' : "00/06/12/18",
32 'origin' : "all",
33 'type' : "an",
34 'param' : "129/130/131/132/157",
35 'grid' : "128",
36 'target' : "pl_"+strdate+".grib"
37 })
38
39 # extract surface data
40 server.retrieve({
41 'dataset' : "interim",
42 'step' : "0",
43 'levtype' : "sfc",
44 'date' : strdate,
45 'time' : "00/06/12/18",
46 'origin' : "all",
47 'type' : "an",
48 'param' : "172/134/151/165/166/167/168/235/33/34/31/141/139/170/183/236/39/40/41/42",
49 'grid' : "256", # use higher resolution surface data
50 'target' : "sfc_"+strdate+".grib"
51 })
52
53 # move to next day
54
55 idate = idate.replace(day=idate.day + 1)
56
57 print "End."
Finally, run this script to download the data files (on ARCHER, or similar supercomputers, this can be done through a serial batch script).
Below is old information - please use method for Reanalysis data above instead!
ECMWF data server - use this for accessing Operational Data
Access
Access to ECMWF met files can be applied for from here: http://www.ecmwf.int/about/computer_access_registration/forms/ Contact at ECMWF is Roddy Sharp (roddy[dot]sharp[at]metoffice[dot]gov[dot]uk)
- Download the Member State User Registration form. Application should fill in Section A and post the hard-copy to Roddy Sharp at ECMWF. Section B is left blank for ECMWF to complete.
- The applicant's supervisor (or, project lead, head of department, etc) contacts Roddy to support the application and confirm the applicant's position.
- On confirmation the ECMWF will post an access token (roughly) within 2 weeks.
Obtaining Data
- log in to the server:
ssh [username]@ecaccess.ecmwf.int
- the password is generated using your access token
select the ecgate host
- Submit data extraction script using the command:
llsubmit [script_name]
Example script:
