MetOffice system produces hindcasts from January 1993 to December 2016, and due to the way nominal start dates are assigned, January 1993 would require data from December 1992 which are not produced by the MetOffice system.

An issue with assimilation of sea-ice data was reported by the MetOffice affecting forecasts initialised on 22 and 23 February 2021. Due to the potential impact of that wrong sea-ice initialisation throughout the forecast, those start dates haven't been processed by C3S.

titleMore details here

The GloSea6 forecasts initialised on 22 and 23 February were initialised with low Arctic sea ice extents. This resulted from corrupt data used in the derivation of ocean initial conditions. The sea ice largely recovers in these forecasts, but is biased low through the whole 6-month forecast compared to neighbouring days.
