Announcement: We're planning to copy this archive to Dynamical.org, and to stop updating this archive on Hugging Face
Hi,
I'm from Open Climate Fix.
We have good news! We're moving the ICON-EU archive to dynamical.org to make it easier and faster to use. Dynamical is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to advance humanity’s ability to access, understand, and act on accurate weather and climate data. All datasets on dynamical.org are free to use.
Each dataset on dynamical.org is stored as a single Zarr on cloud object storage. For example, dynamical.org already hosts a copy of GFS which spans from 2021 until the present day. This entire GFS dataset can be lazily opened with a single line of Python:
dataset = xarray.open_zarr("https://data.dynamical.org/noaa/gfs/forecast/latest.zarr?email=optional@email.com")
Please help us make the ICON-EU dataset as useful as possible by telling us in this GitHub issue which ICON-EU NWP variables at which vertical levels you use. And, if you'd like, please tell us in this issue how you'd like us to handle missing data.
We have no plans to delete the ICON-EU data that's already on Hugging Face. But we will stop updating the ICON-EU archive on Hugging Face six months after the ICON-EU dataset is released on dynamical.org.
If you have questions or suggestions not related to the choice of NWP variables, then please post in this general discussion of the ICON-EU dataset.
Please keep an eye on the updates page on dynamical.org. We hope to have ICON-EU on dynamical.org before the end of the year.
Many thanks,
Jack
Unfortunately, due to the size of this archive on Huggingface, we are having to remove it after all. For continued access, Jacob has kindly mirrored it to Source Cooperative: https://source.coop/bkr/icon. Ignore me - wrong archive!
UPDATE: We're now archiving GRIB2 files for ICON-EU on Source Co-Op for free: https://source.coop/dynamical/dwd-icon-grib/
Hi Jack - looks like the directory is empty?
Please could you send a screenshot of the empty directory? I've just checked and the directory definitely isn't empty! Here's the full URL to the ICON-EU gribs: https://source.coop/dynamical/dwd-icon-grib/icon-eu/regular-lat-lon
weird! Right you are! Maybe hadn't yet verified my email and that made it blank.
Is the history from August '25 (where this huggingface dataset ends) to ~Feb'26 (where dynamical starts) lost to history?
