Only tangentially related: I have nothing but respect for EUMETSAT and their public data store. For past work projects I've had to interface with a pretty broad sample of the world's space and/or meteorological agency's public data stores and APIs and EUMDAC (EUMETSAT's API client) was top tier. Well documented, modern, fast, and generally headache free.

In fact, I have nothing but respect for any agency that makes free and public access to earth observation data a priority, regardless of how janky their API is.

Shout-out to the NOAA GFS team, who publish the GFS analysis directly to AWS S3.

GFS outputs are also available for free from NOMADS. That was true long before AWS came up with the public dataset program.
