ECMWF Open Forecast Dates Currently Published (ECMWF)

ecmwf/list-forecast-dates

Lists the forecast dates currently published in the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) open forecast data (IFS and AIFS models), as YYYYMMDD directories with the upload time, plus a wis2 directory that is not a date. Takes no input. Names and times only, not forecast values. Use a date with the Forecast Streams tool next. Only about the last 2 to 3 days of forecast runs are kept, so listed dates roll off. Based on data and products of ECMWF, licensed CC BY 4.0, passed through unmodified and served by Eden Engine; not an official ECMWF product.
