Description
With the end of February 2019, ECMWF will terminate their ECMWF Web API access to ERA5 data.
This is because the C3S (Copernicus Climate Change Service) has build a new service, the Climate Data Store (CDS)https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/.
Up to now, they provide online access to a limited set of ERA5 pressure and single level data.
The rest is still archived in MARS on ECMWF servers.
At some point in time, they will move all ERA5 data to the CDS.
Therefore a new feature for flex_extract have to be added to support ERA5 data download with the new CDS APIhttps://pypi.org/project/cdsapi/.

- Version changed from flex_extract_v7.0.4 to flex_extract_v7.1
Unfortunately, there is now progress of providing model level data at the Climate Data Store. As soon as there are model levels, we will provide the opportunity to use the cdsapi to download them!

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
Flex_extract version 7.1.2 is now able to use CDS API to extract ERA5 data with a public user account.
Is there any progress on this topic? Is it possible yet to use data from the CDS for Flexpart?
