On Thursday, the 14th of June, Europe’s Climate Data Store (CDS) was launched by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by ECMWF. The CDS greatly improves access to climate data and tools, is open and free for all to use, and will change the ways in which society can benefit from Earth observations and climate science.
The CDS is a cloud-based tool that allows policy-makers, businesses and scientists to browse and combine online petabytes of raw data, build their own applications, maps and graphs online in real time, and access all relevant climate information at the push of a button.
