NOTES
(1) For each real-time forecast start date, the associated hindcast data is produced and made available through the CDS at least one month in advance. The details about data availability can be found in "Summary of available data" page.
...
(6) Details of the complete list of start dates are provided in the description of CPS2 system, section 6. Other relevant information.
(7) ECCC contribution, CanSIPSv2, is a multi-system composed of two independent forecasting systems.
