From what I can tell from reading & based off https://colab.research.google.com/github/deepmind/graphcast/... , one needs access to ECMWF Era5 or HRES data-sets or something similar to be able to run and use this model.

Unknown what licensing options ECMWF offers for Era5, but to use this model in any live fashion, I think one is probably going to need a small fortune. Maybe some other dataset can be adapted (likely at great pain)...



You can get some of the historical data also from here: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/public-datasets/era5 (if the official API is too slow. )

To use the data in live fashion I think you would need to get license from ECMWF...


ERA5 is free. The API is a bit slow.

I think that only some variables from the HRES are free, but not 100% sure.


The API is unusably slow, the only way is to use the AWS, GCP or Azure mirrors, but they miss a lot of variables and are updated sparingly or with a delay.


I created an account on ECMWF but I still dont have access to the ERA5 page, just a big permissions denied message. :/

Any pointers?
