- not ECMWF MARS support

BUFR
pros:
- fast access
- full support at ECMWF - new API in preparation
- can be stored in ECMWF MARS and use all its capability (?)
- compression
cons:
- special setup probably required if there would be any data policy for external users (one file cannot contain all information)
- not too flexible if any re-computations are needed
Other possibilities
- some sort of GRIB?
