Question about GFS operational 0p25 datasources

Hello.

I would like to ask if someone has some other data download point for GFS 0p25 data.

Currently for my options are:
  • NOAA repo: Index of /pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod
    • Last option is via noaa-ftp, but that is the very last option that I have (5 hours downloading data, but it does not use the CDN)
  • Google Cloud: repo >here< (can see dirs from some date on 2021, until 20250612 )
  • Amazon AWS: >here< still current ( if you are going to use a web browser, make sure to open a new tab and put the specific date-HH required for url: noaa-gfs-bdp-pds.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html#gfs.YYYYMMDD/HH/atmos/ )
We were working fine with the googlecloud repo, but it did not receive today's data, and it seems that it won't get it anymore.

Hope it doesn't happen with Amazon AWS one... until now it works well.

In our case, when downloading from NOAA I get redirected transparently to a CDN, which depends of our ISP, and sometimes it acts up and we don't get all the files required for our simulations.

I would like to know if someone has another way or some other considerations for the data download.

Kind regards,
