The gridded satellite data (stream=gfas, type=gsd) may be browsed through the GFAS catalogue and then retrieved via Web-API.
Expand title Latest seven days of GFAS data are also available through the FTP Dissemination server. Note that for the convenience of users who cannot use the ECMWF data server (either via the interactive web interface or through the ECMWF WebAPI), the latest seven days of GFAS data are also available through the FTP Dissemination server. On the FTP server, the new GFAS data becomes available with several hours delay compared to the ECMWF data server. If you wish to have an FTP account setup, please contact Copernicus User Support at ECMWF.
