Is there a way to download GFS PARA grib files for period that are older than a few days ?
I would like to reforecast some days but the ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov only contains the last 3 days.

In fact, you can use it only for intialization, and then for boundary input files use normal gfs of gfsptiles. In EMS environment, use something like DSETS=gfs-para%gfsptile to do that (see chapter 7 of users guide).

I hope the service will be available from december, but honestly I don't have any rumors about this.
But I sure will do tests with the new GFS data, so to be ready when the tiling service will be available.
Robert promised 0.25deg ptiles when he finish setting up new server (in about a month from now)
I am wondering why we can't use gfs-para for boundary conditions ? Will it be possible with the future version of EMS ?
