...

For the "active" instruments, the input data are downloaded on a daily basis from the following ftp/http servers:


Data sources for the other instruments in the composite are specified in the ATBD [D3] under the “Input Data” Section. 

...

The results are then copied on the RMIB GERB HTTP/FTP server (gerb.oma.be) for data dissemination. The CDS accesses the TSI data on this server. The "gerb.oma.be" HTTP/FTP server is running on a virtual machine.

...

Validation results are included in the PQAR document [D5D4].


3. Procedures for reprocessing CDR's

...

The access to the input data (individual timeseries) is verified before execution of the composite processing. In case of data access problem to one of these input files, the "latest" ICDR is not updated and error messages are sent (via email) to the relevant RMIB scientists for action.

5. User support

The point of contact will ensure that each product related user query is redirected (internally at RMIB) to the most appropriate science team member for the formulation of a response. The response will then be delivered to the user within the allocated time frame. Throughout the process, the point of contact will ensure that the relevant key performance indicator (KPI) targets are met, and that the information collected from the science team will be used to develop the user knowledge base (via user documentation, FAQs, and user guides).

5.1 Enquiries

The user (customer) has the possibility to browse and search in the Copernicus Knowledge Base (CKB) (CAMS and C3S Knowledge Base on (CKB)) or the Copernicus Climate Data Store desk (https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/contact-us). This is known as the level-0 process of User Support.

If the level-0 support fails to answer the user's query, they may then make a request, which is sent to Once a request is sent, the Copernicus User Support (CUS) Service team at ECMWF will handle the requests within 8 hours . These (level-1) requests will be handled within 8 hours.

For any scientific and special specialist enquiries that cannot be answered by the CUS team at ECMWF or addressed to by the Copernicus Knowledge Base, the request will be forwarded to the Copernicus User Support Specialists (level-2) to the following email address:
