Data Portal

EMADDC disseminates its historical processed data through the KNMI Data Platform (KDP). Please note that access to the dataset is restricted, and requests for access must be made following the procedures outlined on the KDP website. Once access is granted, the dataset is accessible here or can be retrieved via the catalog.

The published data is compiled into daily compressed (gzip) files, which contain 15-minute BUFR files with processed observations. BUFR is a binary file format commonly utilized in meteorology and data assimilation. Additional information about BUFR and relevant tools for utilizing BUFR files can be found on the ECMWF website.

EMADDC has developed Python software that facilitates the analysis of historical datasets. These tools are accessible through KNMI's OSS repositories and include various readers and visualization tools.

https://gitlab.com/KNMI-OSS/emaddc/emaddc-readers/ to read the different data formats provided by EMADDC (including BUFR). See the data formats page for documation on the different EMADDC data formats.
https://gitlab.com/KNMI-OSS/emaddc/emaddc-temp-plotter a tool to create vertical atmoshpheric profile images based on EMADDC data.

For regular and/or automated downloads of EMADDC datasets, EMADDC recommends that users consult the KDP developer portal. This portal includes scripts for data downloads using CURL or Python, as well as details on subscribing to an automated notification service.
