What is OpenIFS
OpenIFS provides academic and research institutions with an easy-to-use version of the ECMWF IFS (Integrated Forecasting System). OpenIFS provides the forecast capability of IFS (no data assimilation), supporting software and documentation. OpenIFS has a support team at ECMWF for technical assistance but limited resources for detailed scientific assistance.
About OpenIFS provides more information about the model.
The OpenIFS model and accompanying software is intended for use on computers external to ECMWF, though member state users with time on ECMWF computers can use OpenIFS on ECMWF systems.
Getting started
OpenIFS is free but requires a license. Once a license is granted, download access is provided to the source code and accompanying files and tools. Full installation instructions are provided on this website. Note that OpenIFS requires other software packages to be installed first. More information is provided on the following links:
- Licensing : OpenIFS licensing, distribution & contribution agreement.
- Prerequisites : Software tools/libraries assumed to be available on host systems.
- User Guide: How to download, install and run OpenIFS.
