model_id (variable-length string) is free model identifier assigned by the originating centre (to distinguish between potentially different models provided by the centre);

event | description |
---|---|
val>1 | forecast/observed value greater than 1 unit of the forecast parameter |
an>4 | forecast/observed anomaly with respect to the station climate mean greater than 4 units of the forecast value |
an<-1.5std | forecast/observed anomaly with respect to the station climate mean less than -1.5 times the standard deviation of the climate at the observation station |
