In order to access the model sources and other required data packages, you need to have a personal ECMWF account which you can create on the ECMWF web site or by clicking here.

If you are a new model user you of OpenIFS 48r1 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 added to the OpenIFS user group. If you have previously used OpenIFS 43r3 and wish to upgrade to using OpenIFS 48r1, then you need to contact OpenIFS support with your ECMWF web user account to get access.
