In order to retrieve data efficiently users should follow instructions about S2S reforecasts retrieval efficiency.
...
Do you have any examples of S2S data retrieval scripts?
...
Do you provide analysis in S2S?
In principle the The S2S database does not contain the initial conditionsthe analysis used to initialize the S2S models. However, for some models (e.g ECMWF) step 0 is available (see details below), but only for instantaneous variables. For some models (e.g. ECMWF), step 0 of the control forecast corresponds to the unperturbed analysis.
If you are interested in re-forecasts, most re-forecasts are initialized either from JRA, ERA or NCEP re-analysis which can be available from other public datasets.
