An issue potentially affecting C3S seasonal forecast data downloads from the CDS has been recently detected.
The source of the issue has been identified and the problem reverted, so CDS is now back to its correct behaviour. We strongly advise users which have requested data that matches the description below to repeat those downloads to ensure the data retrieved is correct.
The affected data downloads would have been those requesting data in netCDF format from one of the following seasonal forecast datasets (where the data is stored in GRIB) between Tuesday 19th of March and Thursday 21st of March (both included):
- Seasonal forecast daily and subdaily data on single levels
- Seasonal forecast subdaily data on pressure levels
- Seasonal forecast monthly statistics on single levels
- Seasonal forecast monthly statistics on pressure levels
- Seasonal forecast anomalies on single levels
- Seasonal forecast anomalies on pressure levels
CDS data requests matching that description have very likely have received wrong data inside the netCDF files.
