Conventions for Ocean Archiving

The links below contain information on how to prepare the ocean output of the ENSEMBLES s2d integrations. The output, which comprises analyses and forecasts, is made of monthly means. These fields should be interpolated into a common grid, written in NetCDF format using the CF-convention, initially stored in ECFS at ECMWF and, later, publicly disseminated through the OPeNDAP server. The files required are only those of the common set of hindcasts.

• NetCDF files

• File naming convention
