Scope

The ECMWF FTP service provides access to real-time data from the CAMS Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS). The description of GFASv1.2 can be found here . For other data access options please see here.

Please see see the list of available variables below and make sure your variables of interest are available.

...

  1. Log on to www.ecmwf.int. (If you do not have an account create one)
  2. Read the CAMS data licence and accept the license at the bottom of the page.
  3. Send an email to copernicus-support@ecmwf.int, providing
    1. the user name you used to log into www.ecmwf.int and accept the license
    2. for our service planning, a brief description of how you intend to use the data

Data location

FTP server

Retention policy

Data is kept for 7 days for CAMS_GFAS

Data is kept for 3 days for CAMS_GFAS_HOURLY

File naming convention

The CAMS_GFAS file naming convention is based on WMO guidelines as follows:

z_cams_c_ecmf_yyyymmddhhmmssyyyymmdd000_vvvv_tt_lt_sss_param.[grib|nc]

Where:

ecmfis the WMO location indicators. The list can be found here.
yyyymmddhhmmss
yyyymmddis the base date
and time
of the forecast.
vvvvis a version or experiment identifier. gfas is used for GFAS products, prod will be used for operational products, test (or experiment ID) will be used for testing purposes, rean for reanalysis if needed.

Data organisation

The dataset is datasets are grouped by type of product (here only analysis, an), level type (here only surface parameter, sfc), by step (here always 0) or forecast range (here always 0) and by parameter. Biomass burning emissions are available on a daily basis, always with time 12:00:00.Examplesrange and by parameter.

CAMS_GFAS Example:

z_cams_c_ecmf_20201022000_gfas_an_sfc_co2fire.grib contains the average analysis field of biomass burning emissions of CO2 for 22nd October 2020 (valid from 00 UTC on 22nd to 00 UTC on 23rd).

CAMS_GFAS_HOURLY Example:

z_cams_c_ecmf_20140129120000202012280800_gfas_an_sfc_000024_co2fire.grib contains 24-hour average analysis field of biomass burning emissions of CO2 on 29th January 2014 28th December 2020 (valid 0 from 08 UTC on 29th 28th to 0UTC 08 UTC on 30th29th).

z_cams_c_ecmf_20140129120000202012290700_gfas_an_sfc_000001_tcfireco2fire.grib contains hourly analysis field of biomass burning emissions of Carbon CO2 on 29th January 2014December 2020 valid at 07 UTC.

Data availability

The latest forecasts are normally available by 06:00 UTC. After the data transfer to the ftp server is completed a manifest file is uploaded:
