- There will be no change in the number and definition of the pressure levels.
- There will be no change in the model level vertical resolution.
- The horizontal resolution of the ENS re-forecasts will be increased to match that of ENS.
- The horizontal resolution of the two ENS constant-resolution forecasts provided for calibration and validation purposes will be increased:
