Hello @ahmedshaaban1,

Thanks for the report. In fact, many of these files do not reside in the repo, as we did not want to make the repo too large. Instead, they reside on a separate download server. The gallery example tries to read the file from local disk, and if it is not there, it will try to download from our server.

filename = "advection_850.grib"
if mv.exist(filename):
    f = mv.read(filename)
else:
    f = mv.gallery.load_dataset(filename)

If this does not work for you, you may be running a slightly older version of metview-python (pre-1.13.0), which tried to download from a server that has since been decommissioned. But if you use a newer version, it should download the file correctly.

Best regards, Iain

Dear Iain, Thanks a lot for your response. Is a direct link (HTTP or FTP) available to download the data? Thanks
