Hi Data Hub users,
The OpenIFS Data Hub makes use of Copernicus data products for some of the data it generates (e.g. experiment data based on ERA5 reanalyses).
We would like to notify our users about a forthcoming change in the data licensing. The data licence for Copernicus products will change to a Create Commons Attribution Licence CC-BY-4.0. This change will take effect on 02 July 2025.
On that day the OpenIFS Data Hub licence document will be updated accordingly for Copernicus data products. Please note that for the operational (IFS non-valid) data source there will be no change of the licence text.
If you continue to use the OpenIFS Data Hub after this date then this will be considered as your acceptance of this licensing change.
