This page has been revised as of 30 Apr to introduce the two new naming convention for AIFS data available via dissemination. AIFS data was released via dissemination in April 2024. letters for the 49r1 Cycle Implementation. New letters are marked in green in the Dissemination Stream Indicator table below. |
Naming convention - IFS data
The following dissemination filename convention is used for the transmission of ECMWF dissemination products:
ccSMMDDHHIImmddhhiiE where:
- cc is Dissemination stream name
- S is dissemination data stream indicator
- MMDDHHII is month, day, hour and minute on which the products are based
- mmddhhii is month, day, hour and minute on which the products are valid at
- ddhhii is set to “______” for Seasonal Forecasting System products
- ii is set to 01 for high resolution forecast time step zero, type=fc, step=0
- E is the Experiment Version Number’ (as EXPVER in MARS, normally 1)
Dissemination data stream indicator
S | Description | Stream & Type (where applicable) |
|---|---|---|
| A | HRES High resolution forecast Weather Parameter products (1015-day) | stream=oper, type=wp |
| B | ENS Ensemble forecast Weather Parameter products (15-day) | stream=enfo, type=wp |
| C | Tropical Cyclone high resolution trajectory forecast products (HRES) (1015-day) | stream=oper/scda, type=tf |
| D | High resolution forecast products - atmospheric data (HRES) (1015-day) | stream=oper (also scda for 06/18 if requested) |
| E | Ensemble forecast products- atmospheric data (ENS) (15-day) | stream=enfo (00/06/12/18) |
| F | Extended range Subseasonal forecast products - atmospheric data (ENS-extended) (46-day) | stream=eefo (was enfo) |
| G | Ensemble forecast products - high-frequency wave data (ENS-WAM) (15-day) | stream=waef |
| H | Extended range Subseasonal re-forecast products - atmospheric data (ENS-extended) (46-day) | stream=eefh/eehs (was enfh/efhs) |
| I | Ensemble re-forecast reforecast products - atmospheric data (ENS) (15-day) | stream=enfh/efhs (new) |
| J | Ensemble re-forecast reforecast products - wave data (ENS) (15-day) | stream=enwh/wehs (new) |
| L | Seasonal forecasting system products - atmospheric data (SEAS) | stream=mmsm/mmsf/mmsa |

File format
Most products are encoded in WMO FM-92 GRIB edition 1, unless otherwise specified in our Catalogue of Real-time products
- Product subset I-i-c (High Resolution Atmospheric model), III-i-c (Ensemble Atmospheric model): Model level parameters encoded in WMO FM-92 GRIB edition 2
- Product subsets I-ii, III-iv (Time Series of Weather Parameters) and Products subsets I-iii, III-viii (Tropical Cyclones), encoded in WMO FM-94 BUFR

Naming - AIFS via disseminationTaking into account user feedback, ECMWF has chosen to implement a new naming convention for the AIFS data via dissemination.
The composition of the file will be comprised of MARS standard information such as class, stream, type but combined with unique user identifiers such as Destination name and Feed name:
Therefore, an example filename would be:
