• Check the ECMWF Service Status page - there may be a problem with an ECMWF system that has already been identified.
  • Check that your FTP host is not full - one of the most common reasons that dissemination fails is because there is insufficient space for the data on the recipient's disk.
  • Check whether there have been any changes to the settings/passwords/permissions which control access to your disk.
  • If you have access to the ECMWF Production Data Store (ECPDS) (the system used for transmitting real-time forecast data to users) you can: 
    • Check the status of your real-time forecast data dissemination
    • Activate a back-up host
    • Switch to an alternative host
    • Request a new host (if you don't have the access permissions to change it yourself - do this by raising a ticket through the Support Portal). 

For more information on how to do these steps, please see the see documentation for ECPDS (ECMWF Production Data Store)

  • If these methods don't lead to a solution of the issue, then please raise a ticket via our Support Portal.
