The free access relates to data and products only and not to value added services. Meteorological products are processed meteorological data. They are either produced manually or by input into computer-controlled procedures.
Meteorological value added services are the further processing of data and products.
They serve to fulfil the special requirements of customers and users. A research project is noncommercial when all the results attained are made freely accessible or for no more than the mere transmission costs, are available without delay due to commercial considerations and are consequently published. Correspondence is to be addressed to the institute s address. The data are supplied exclusively to the conditions of delivery of the Deutscher Wetterdienst. The free availability may not be delayed because of commercial reasons.
