08-03-2016 ECMWF forecast system change

Update of ECMWF forecast system. A new version of ECMWF model (IFS cycle 41r2) was introduced at ECMWF. 

The main consequences for ECMWF-S2S data are:
  • Introduction of a new model grid: the reduced Gaussian octahedral grid;
  • Horizontal resolution of the ENS increased from TL639 / N320 to TCO639 / O640 for ENS (Days 0 - 15) and from TL319 / N160 to TCO319 / O320  for ENS Extended (Days 16 - 46), where subscript C stands for cubic and O for octahedral;
  • For the medium-range ENS there will no longer be a decrease of resolution at day 10: the ENS Days 11 - 15 will be run at the same TCO639 / O640 resolution as ENS Days 0 - 10;

10-12-2015 UKMO real-time forecasts model added to S2S database

The real-time part of UKMO model outputs started to be archived in S2S database since December 1, 2015. More information ... here.

04-12-2015 ISAC-CNR model added to S2S database

10-10-2015 Issues with data

A page Issues with data was created with the intention to make users aware of important issues with the data. We suggest users to 'Watch' that page so they should get notified of any issue we believe is relevan. More information... here.

06-10-2015 Scripts to help retrieving reforecasts data

We have documented a couple of cases on how to write scripts to retrieve data efficiently via the WebAPI. In order to do that one needs to know the frequency and availability of each Centre's reforecast. These use cases are linked in the page with models' description (click on the model name in the first column there)

For example the links to BoM or CMA use cases are here:
BoM: https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/S2S/BoM+reforecast+efficient+retrieval
CMA: https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/S2S/CMA+re-forecast+efficient+retrieval

06-10-2015 Availability of reforecasts

The web interface to access reforecasts was opened. The interface is available here.

07-09-2015 Météo-France (lfpw) reforecast update

The reforecast frequency was changed from once to twice per month. More information... here.

26-06-2015 HMCR model added to S2S database

The real-time part of HMCR model was added to S2S database. More information ... here.

26-06-2015 Météo-France added to S2S database

A new model was added to S2S database. More information ... here.

10-06-2015 CMA added to S2S database

A new model was added to S2S database. More information ... here.

14-05-2015 ECMWF model upgrade

The major difference for S2S database is the model running frequency change to twice a week and the extension of the forecast length to 46 days. More information ... here

06-05-2015 S2S database launch at ECMWF

The official launch of S2S database 

Near real-time forecasts from four data providers (BoM, ECMWF, JMA and NCEP) have been ingested routinely since January 2015.
