As the OpenIFS project and model is still relatively new and under development, we ask interested users to send a short description of their intended use of the model.
Our aim is to work closely with new users to provide good support & training in return for feedback which we can use for reporting purposes. This may mean that from time to time we temporarily suspend new licenses in order not to overload our support capabilities.
License
OpenIFS is provided free for educational and research use but requires a license to be signed before access to the model code is provided. It is not open source nor public domain software. See Licensing for more details.
Release distributions
OpenIFS is available as tarfiles from the ECMWF ftp site. This is currently password protected. Users are provided with the password when the license has been duely signed.
OpenIFS is also available as a Git repository for selected developers and users. For more details please contact: openifs-support@ecmwf.int.
Download
For instructions on downloading and installing OpenIFS please see: Install OpenIFS.
