Three years ago, the ECMWF meteorological archiving and retrieval system (MARS) was redesigned to cope with the growth of data produced by the various models running at ECMWF. At the time, an object-oriented database was chosen to store the archive metadata.

It is planned to pursue this idea and provide ways to select and retrieved data using standard web technology.
