This application form is for Day 1 only.

This first day introduces participants to ECMWF’s Meteorological Archival and Retrieval System (MARS), the primary system used to access ECMWF forecast and archived data.

Participants will learn how the archive is structured and how to retrieve data efficiently using MARS requests. The sessions will cover the basic concepts of the MARS language, common retrieval workflows, and best practices for constructing efficient queries.

The day includes several hands-on exercises where participants will practise retrieving data and integrating MARS access into their workflows.
