Description of the main changes
GEPS2303
- Real-time forecasts changes:
- The frequency changed from twice a week (every Tuesday and Wednesday at 12Z) to every day (00Z).
- The ensemble size per initial time decreases from 25 to 5.
- The output frequency for 10 metre wind and precipitation changed from 24 hour to 6 hour.
- Increased number of vertical layers for vertical velocity.
- The Surface thermal radiation downwards parameter newly provided.
- The total data size increased from 6.6 GB to 8.4 GB per week, but decreased from 3.3 GB to 1.2 GB per day due to change the ensemble size and a forecast frequency.
- Re-forecasts changes:
- The number of re-forecast ensemble members decreased from 13 to 5.
- The total data size for the re-forecast: ~1TB.
