In a bid to encourage users to move over to using CDS-Beta ahead of the shutdown of the Climate Data Store (CDS) in September 2024, the Data Stores team has planned to gradually reduce access to selected datasets (both web form and API service) on CDS from this week onwards starting with:
Satellite Observations datasets
- Carbon dioxide data from 2002 to present derived from satellite observations
- Ice sheet surface elevation change rate for Greenland and Antarctica from 1992 to present derived from satellite observations
- Aerosol properties gridded data from 1995 to present derived from satellite observations
- Surface albedo 10-daily gridded data from 1981 to present
- Leaf area index and fraction absorbed of photosynthetically active radiation 10-daily gridded data from 1981 to present
- Cloud properties global gridded monthly and daily data from 1979 to present derived from satellite observations
- Fire radiative power and active fire pixels from 2020 to present derived from satellite observations
- Lake water levels from 1992 to present derived from satellite observations
- Fire burned area from 2001 to present derived from satellite observations
- Tropospheric humidity profiles averaged monthly and zonally from 2006 to present derived from satellite observations

- Sea surface temperature daily gridded data from 1981 to 2016 derived from a multi-product satellite-based ensemble
- Surface radiation budget from 1979 to present derived from satellite observations
- Sea surface temperature daily data from 1979 to present derived from satellite observations
- Soil moisture gridded data from 1978 to present
- Monthly and 6-hourly total column water vapour over ocean from 1988 to 2020 derived from satellite observations
- Upper tropospheric humidity gridded data from 1999 to present derived from satellite observations
Download from additional datasets will be disrupted in the following weeks. Affected datasets will be announced in this topic as soon as confirmed.
Warnings are posted on affected dataset catalogue entries in the Climate Data Store (CDS).
Reanalysis datasets (e.g. ERA5, ERA5-Land, ORAS5, CARRA, CERRA, UERRA) and Seasonal forecast datasets will remain open and available from current CDS until CDS is shutdown in September 2024. However, to encourage users to move over to CDS-Beta, download limitations on CDS will progressively be incremented while download performance on CDS-Beta will be improved .
Please refer to our informative page for guidelines on moving over to download the data from CDS-Beta.
Should you encounter any difficulties migrating to CDS-Beta, do get in touch with ECMWF Support by raising a ticket on our Support Portal.
