../../_images/ECFS.png

Retrieves files from ECFS (European Centre File Store).

Warning

This function is only available for internal ECMWF use.

Note

This function performs the same task as the Ecfs icon in Metview’s user interface. It accepts its parameters as keyword arguments, described below.

ecfs(**kwargs)

Retrieves files from ECFS.

Warning

This function is only available for internal ECMWF use.

Parameters

  • ecfs_domain (str, default: "ec:") – Specifies the ECFS domain. By default this is “ec:” and so far it is the only valid input.

  • file_name (str) – Specifies the name of the file to be retrieved from ECFS. The name specified must not include the “ec:” prefix, but should include the ECFS path, e.g. “/uid/dir1/…/filename”. If the file resides in the root ECFS directory, you can only specify the file name.

Return type

Metview object representing the type of the retrieved data.
