Did you find a fix for this? I am facing a similar issue while trying to gain access to HRES-WAM data. Is there something I’m missing?

Dear Mohammed,

That’s correct. Historical HRES and HRES-WAM are in the Archive Catalogue which requires a service account to access this data.

As a researcher, you need to submit a proposal to determine if your project would be eligible for a fee waiver. More information can be found in our [documentation](https://confluence.ecmwf.int/spaces/DAC/pages/228871382/MARS+Archive+Data#MARSArchiveData-Archivedataavailabletoothercustomers(commercial%2Cresearch%2Cetc.)).

Kind regards,

Emma
