The data will be pulled via ftp from an agreed server location at the data producer's site.
The ECMWF's acquisition system will be used for handling the production data exchange.
Participants are committed to guarantee a steady and reliable provision of their data and to communicate any relevant changes.
The support mailing list on provider's side will be required to allow smooth communication related to common production issues in the future.
