Single prediction that uses

  • observations
  • prior information about the Earth-system
  • ECMWF's highest-resolution model

HRES Direct model output Products offers "High Frequency products"  

  • 4 forecast runs per day (00/06/12/18) (see dissemination schedule for details)
  • Hourly steps to step 90 for all four runs

Not all post-processed Products are available at 06/18 runs or in hourly steps.

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 HRES (High Resolution) Model (previously "Deterministic Atmospheric Model") :

I-i: Atmospheric fields (Direct model output)

I-ii: Time series of weather parameters (Post-processed output)

I-iii Tropical cyclones tracks (Post-processed output)

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

I-iv Simulated satellite data (Post-processed output)

Product description

  • 0.1° x 0.1° lat/long grid or any multiple thereof (global or sub-area)
  • On model (Octahedral) O1280 grid (global or sub-area)
  • Spectral components (TCO1279) for upper-air fields (global area only)

The products are provided in GRIB code except I-ii Time series of weather parameters and I-iii Tropical cyclones tracks that are provided in BUFR code.

I-iv Simulated satellite data (post-processed output)

This data is produced using relevant atmospheric model profiles and surface parameters from the operational high-resolution forecast. These are used to calculate brightness temperatures, which can be visualised as simulated satellite images.
