The TIGGE dataset consists of ensemble forecast data from thirteen global NWP centres, starting from October 2006. TIGGE was established as a key component of THORPEX: a World Weather Research Programme to accelerate the improvements in the accuracy of 1-day to 2 week high-impact weather forecasts for the benefit of humanity. ECMWF has played a key role in creation and maintenance of the TIGGE archive where nine global ensemble weather forecast systems' outputs are stored.TIGGE - LAMTIGGE - LAM is a continuation of TIGGE project now for limited area model ensemble systems' forecasts. TIGGE-LAM archive, which can be considered as an enhancement of TIGGE (global) archive, is being created at ECMWF in the frame of EU funded GEOWOW project. |
