If you don't have access to ECMWF computers but would still like to access a large subset of test data, you can use the Copernicus Atmosphere Data Store API service.

Info

Read documentation and see brief request syntax of the ECMWF WebAPI serviceCopernicus Atmosphere Data Store API.

If you haven't done it yet you will need to create an account and accept the terms of use of Copernicus Atmosphere Data Store.
