Other relevant information | HMCR re-forecasts are produced on the fly. Every week a new set of re-forecasts is produced to calibrate the real-time ensemble forecast of the given day. The ensemble re-forecasts consist of a 11-member ensemble starting the same day and month as a Thursday real-time forecast, but covering 1991-2015 years. The re-forecast dataset is therefore updated every week in the S2S archive. | HMCR re-forecasts are produced on the fly.
