A tutorial about using ODB in Metview can be found here.

What is ODB?

ODB is a database developed at ECMWF to store and retrieve large volumes of meteorological observational and feedback data efficiently for use within the IFS.

Currently, ODB comes in two flavours:

  • ODB-1 (the original hierarchical table format capable of running in a parallel environment within IFS)
  • ODB-2 (a new flat format with a modern API used for archiving in MARS).
