If you are a new model user you should in the first instance contact OpenIFS support (by emailing openifs-support@ecmwf.int) requesting access to OpenIFS by providing the following information: your full name, your affiliation and related institutional email address, and your ECMWF account user name. OpenIFS staff will then activate OpenIFS user policies for your personal ECMWF account. In some cases we may need to request additional verification of your affiliation with your licensed institute prior to giving you access. 

Info

The OpenIFS model is available as tarfiles from an ECMWF download site along with example initial experiment data and additional software.

In order to access the download site prospective model users need to:

  (1) be affiliated with an institution that has signed the OpenIFS licence agreement,
  (2) have created their own personal ECMWF web user account,
  (3) and contact OpenIFS support to have their account added to the OpenIFS user group. 

Note:  Access to the download site is only granted after the personal ECMWF web user account was activated for the OpenIFS user group.

The CHANGES file in the source package describes the developments between releases.

Please note that access to this web site is restricted to registered OpenIFS users, i.e. your personal ECMWF account must have been added to the OpenIFS user policy.
