Introduction
In the ECMWF cross data store (XDS) established in 2025, users can find selection of public datasets managed by ECMWF and developed under research projects.
The XDS is powered by CDS technology (access via CDS-API, discovery forms etc). It shares the same authentication system, so that users can access any dataset across all data stores (CDS, ADS, EWDS, ECDS).
Find all information how to access a dataset in XDS and the avaiable tools and tutorials in the ECDS home page https://xds.ecmwf.int

Please note that the XSD is not an operational service and does not benefit from the support services that characterize other datasets. While you are welcome to post questions on the ECMWF user forum or contact the designated point for datasets typically available through associated publications, we do not guarantee full service support for these datasets. They are made available to the scientific community for research purposes as they are, with no commitment from ECMWF to their ongoing maintenance. |
