An easy-to-use version of the ECMWF global IFS (Integrated Forecasting System), the OpenIFS model, is available to academic and research institutions.
The OpenIFS model provides the same forecast capability as IFS but without the data assimilation system. Supporting software and documentation is also provided.
OpenIFS has a support team at ECMWF for technical assistance but limited resources for detailed scientific assistance.
