# ECMWF's Web Coverage Service currently holds around 478 GBs of meteorological and hydrological data from two projects:  
# * [the ERA-interim climate reanalysis project](#era_int), and 
# * [the Global Flood Awareness System](#glofas) [(GloFAS)](http://globalfloods.eu)

# <b>NOTE</b>  
# At this point, it is important to mention that the WCS by ECMWF is setup to study and demonstrate the potential of WCS / WCPS services and is not an operational service offered by ECMWF.  
# 
# It can happen for some periods that the test server will not be accessible or degraded. The current OGC WCS server is not meant to be integrated into any operational applications.  
# 
# The tables below show data sets currently available by ECMWF's Web Coverage Service. The tables show the data, we think could be of most interest. Since the WCS server is explorative, you might as well find other data sets offered and not explicitly mentioned in the table below.
