CEDA ESGF Search Portal

Use this portal to find, select and download data held in the globally distributed Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) archives.

Start searching now

For a faceted search across all projects, click here, or the "Search with options" link on the right.
For a free-text search, type some text in the box on the right and click "Go".

What can you find here?

The ESGF consists of federated data centres that enable access to the largest archive of climate data world-wide. This portal allows you to find, select and download data files from the federation.

You will find data from CMIP5, CMIP6, CORDEX and many other high-profile projects through this portal.

For more information about the projects, please use the links on the right (under "child projects").

Project-specific searches

The following projects require an account at CEDA (create CEDA account) or an openID from an ESGF peer site, and some also require a Group Registration (see links below) to access their data. Exceptions are flagged as "publicly available".

New server side processing capabilities

CEDA is part of the European IS-ENES Infrastructure. New services are developed within the project to provide users with server-side processing capabilities. It means your analyses can be performed near the data at the IS-ENES HPC centers and you will donwload the results of your analyses and avoid the heavy data download of raw model data. This is especially beneficial for users with low network bandwidth or limited access to high performance facilities.

Please visit our new server-side services:

the Analysis Platforms open call for multimodel analyses of the CMIP6 and CORDEX model data and apply for CPU computing hours at the IS-ENES HPC centers with direct access to locally maintaned high volume data sets
the Climate4Impact portal dedicated to climate impact users who want to perform server-side visualizations, indices calculations, downscaling, subsetting, and regridding and download the lightweight results of their analyses.

Are you a JASMIN User?

If you are a JASMIN login user you may be able to access many of the data sets available through this portal directly on the JASMIN platform.
