Ensemble (ENS) of forecasts providing an estimate of the reliability of a single forecast.

ENS offers  "High Frequency products"  until step 144:

  • 4 daily runs: 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC
  • hourly until step 90
  • 3-hourly from 93 to 144

Most Post-processed Products are not available at 06/18 runs or in hourly steps. An exception are Tropical Cycle tracks (set III-viii) which is available for all daily runs: 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC.

The purchase of the "Basic Set" +72, +96, +120, +144, +168 hrs is a mandatory prerequisite for the purchase of time steps in the range 12 to 66 hours.

The following sub-sets are available from the ENS Model:

III-i: Atmospheric fields (direct model output)

 These fields are provided in GRIB code.

III-ii: Clusters (post-processed products)

III-iii: Probabilities (post-processed products)

The products provide the probabilities of the occurrence of instantaneous and averaged or accumulated weather events at each grid point. The products are encoded in GRIB form.

III-iv: Time series of weather parameters (post-processed products)

The products consist of values of the individual members of the real-time forecast at grid points (single locations). The products are provided in BUFR code.

III-v: Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) and Shift of Tails (SOT) (post-processed products)

The products provide the EFI and SOT of single level parameters calculated over 1, 3, 5 and 10-day ranges at each grid point. The products are encoded in GRIB form

III-vi: Ensemble means (post-processed products)

The fields are the means of the ensemble members at each forecast step. The fields are provided in GRIB code.

III-vii: Ensemble standard deviations (post-processed products)

The fields are the standard deviations of the ensemble members at each forecast step. The fields are provided in GRIB code.

III-viii: Tropical cyclones tracks (post-processed products)

Tropical cyclones tracks products are provided in BUFR code free of information charge.

The tropical cyclone trajectories are computed independently for each ensemble member; a given tropical cyclone may dissipate at different times in different members so the number of members predicting a given tropical cyclone may vary through the forecast.

 

 

The purchase of the "Basic Set" (+72, +96, +120, +144, +168 hrs) is a mandatory prerequisite for the purchase of time steps in the range 12 to 66 hours.

When requested, the invariant parameters will be provided free of information charge once with every forecast dissemination.

Base times for direct model output products: 00 UTC, 06 UTC, 12 UTC and 18 UTC  unless otherwise specified.

III-viii: Tropical Cyclone tracks

  ↵

Tropical cyclones tracks are provided in BUFR code, free of information charge. They are composed of 52 trajectories corresponding to:

  • the 50 perturbed forecasts from ENS (Ensemble Member numbers 1 to 50 in BUFR)
  • the control forecast from ENS (Ensemble Member number 51 in BUFR)
  • the HRES forecast (Ensemble Member number 52 in BUFR)

The tropical cyclone trajectories are computed independently for each ensemble member; a given tropical cyclone may dissipate at different times in different members so the number of members predicting a given tropical cyclone may vary through the forecast.

Observed (existing cyclones) and genesis (created by the forecast).
