ECMWF
MARS - Meteorological Archival and Retrieval System
contains the meteorological forecast/analysis/re-analysis ECMWF data in GRIB format, observations in BUFR format and observations feedbacks in ODB format (ECMWF ad-hoc format).
Access to operational forecasts and analysis as well as observations require to have an account at ECMWF but all REANALYSES can be freely downloaded. The list of freely accessible dataset can be found here.
