Please note that the new Service Charge model applies only to users who want to access ECMWF Real-Time data.
For users who want to get a licence for ECMWF Archive data or for ecCharts, costs remain unchanged.
About the Service Charges
The Service Charge model will consist of two distinct cost components:
- Volume Charge
- Service Package
Note: the current EPU (ECOMET Product Unit) rate for Information Cost still applies and remains unchanged.
In the next paragraphs we will illustrate the components and the related fees of the new Service Charge Model.
The Service Charge applies to users who want to get a licence for ECMWF Real Time data and:
- Choose ECMWF as the data Licensor.
- Choose a Member State as the Licensor but still want data to be delivered by ECMWF directly.
Please note that the new Service Charge model applies only to users who want to access ECMWF Real-Time data.
For users who want to get a licence for ECMWF Archive data or for ecCharts, costs remain unchanged.
Notes for different categories of licensees when requesting/renewing a licence with ECMWF:
- Standard commercial users, Maximum Charge Users, Full NMHS Non-commercial users, and NMHS standard users will need to pick up the Service Package to get a quote.
- Standard Commercial users can still apply for Small Business Discount.
- Research users and Satellite Data Providers: it will be at ECMWF discretion whether to waive Volume Band fees and/or Service Package fee (Information Cost for this kind of licences remain set to zero). The services these licensees will get, will depend on the Service Package that will be assigned to them.
