Convention used in MARS: the date and time of the data is specified with three MARS keywords, 'date', 'time' and 'step'. For parameters labelled as analyses (see list of parameters), step=0 hours so that date and time specify the analysis time. All forecasts start at 00UTC (time=00 hours), and for parameters labelled as forecasts (see list of parameters), date specifies the forecast start day and step specifies the number of hours since the start of the forecast, with a maximum of step=24 hours. The combination of date, time and forecast step defines the validity date/time. For analyses, the validity date/time is equal to the analysis date/time.

...

  • HRES: accumulations are from 00 UTC to the hour ending at the forecast step
  • For the CDS time, or validity time, of 00 UTC, the accumulations are over the 24 hours ending at 00 UTC i.e. the accumulation is during the previous day
  • Synoptic monthly means (stream=mnth): accumulations have units of "variable_units per forecast_step hours"
  • Monthly means of daily means (stream=moda): accumulations have units that include "per day", see section Monthly means
