A starter guide to ecFlow

ecFlow is a workflow package that enables users to run programmes behind a firewall. During this lesson you will learn ecFlow vocabulary and how to run a simple suite.

ecCodes – Manipulating GRIB data with tools and API

ecCodes is software developed by ECMWF to decode and encode in WMO GRIB and BUFR formats. This lesson focuses on handling GRIB data with ecCodes tools.

ecCodes: Decoding with GRIB tools

ecCodes is software developed by ECMWF to decode and encode in WMO GRIB and BUFR formats. This lesson will teach you how to inspect GRIB messages using GRIB tools.

Exploring meteorological data through OGC web services

Web services are used to visualise geographical data. This lesson describes web services, data standards and outlines what OGC and INSPIRE are.

Introduction to BUFR decoding with ecCodes
