The aim of this section is to document and provide learning resources for the different CEMS-Flood's formats and structures.
CEMS-Flood products are available in two formats, GRIB2 and NetCDF4. GRIB2 is the original format from the MARS archive. Conversion to NetCDF4 is supported for some datasets, check in the <table>. Do we distribute NetCDF4 on request through FTP or just GRIB?
Each product is available in 5 datasets: Historical, Forecast, Reforecast, Seasonal Forecast, Seasonal Reforecast. These may vary in structure, reference <link>.
In addition, other auxiliary datasets are available to the users in NetCDF4 format.
