License

OpenIFS is provided free-of-charge and licenses are usually per institution.

Only licensed users are provided with the username and password to access the ftp site. For more information, or to request a license, please email: openifs-support@ecmwf.int.

OpenIFS directory layout

The model will unpack into a directory called 'oifs'. The directory structure for the OpenIFS model and code will depend on local installation requirements. A suggested directory structure has all source code and data organised under a single directory 'oifs'.  If desired, the grib_api could also be installed under the oifs directory but it's recommended it is placed elsewhere.
