Most of the datasets held by the BADC are unrestricted and freely available, either through the World Wide Web (WWW) or
anonymous FTP. You do not need to register to access public datasets. See the Dataset index for details of our dataset holdings, including whether the dataset is public or restricted (restricted
datasets are marked by
)
To gain access to restricted datasets held at the BADC, you must first register with the BADC.
Please note that registering as a user does not automatically grant you access to restricted datasets.
To be granted access to restricted datasets you will need to complete an application form
for the datasets you require. This will involve you telling us what you intend to do with the data and
agreeing to be bound by the conditions of usage for the datasets concerned. The conditions
of usage vary between datasets. Details of the conditions should be available
on each dataset web page. In most cases you will be required to agree to a
set of conditions of use before your application can then be processed. Only when we are satisfied that you will comply with the relevant
conditions and that all necessary information has been supplied will your account be given the necessary permissions to access the data.
Please note in particular that Met Office and ECMWF data are only available for bona fide academic research (see data access rules for more details) and that the BADC is only permitted to grant access to ECMWF to UK based users.
If you wish to use this data for commercial purposes, undergraduate, school or private projects, please contact the data suppliers directly.
Instructions for how to complete the dataset registration process will be sent to you once you have registered as a user.
