Dear user,
Happy New Year from ECMWF Data Support!
As we enter 2025, we’re excited to continue working with you and supporting your operations. This year, we’ll share more regular updates to help you stay informed about significant changes and opportunities for smoother planning. We value your feedback on these news updates and look forward to hearing your feedback on this.
Copies of the updates will also be stored in our Data & Charts blog.
Network Update: January 2025
We are conducting a significant network update at our data centre this month. This will take place across several system sessions, and while disruptions are not expected, there is a minor risk of impact on data services.
Here’s what you need to know:
• Service Status: All updates will be posted on our Service Status page. If any services are degraded, you’ll find real-time information there.
• Temporary Variations: Some users may experience fluctuations in data transfer speeds. If you notice changes, we recommend waiting 24 hours before reporting them, as issues may be resolved in subsequent sessions.
• Our network teams will be actively monitoring and addressing any challenges during this period.
Test Data Tidy-up
Start the year with clean data! If you have unused test feeds, we encourage you to tidy them up to optimise your data usage:
• Why it matters: Test feeds contribute to your overall data limits, and in 2025, we’re tightening automatic reviews to ensure users are within their contractual limits.
• How to tidy up: If you don’t have access to the interface to manage test data yourself, simply raise a ticket with the Data Support team, we’re happy to help.
We hope you find these updates helpful and look forward to supporting your data needs in 2025.
Best regards,
ECMWF Data Support Team
