Sample data

  • Providers are asked to provide full sample data from one model run containing all expected parameters, steps, forecast types etc.
  • Naming convention for sample data:
    lcgcr_<centre WMO origin>_<YYYYMMDDRR>_<prod/test>_an.grib2
    prod/test ... production or test version of the data
  • Merge all parameters from all steps for given model run and output type into one file:
    e.g. test reanalyses from ECMWF on the 1st of September 2017, 12Z  => lcgcr_ecmf_2017090112_test_an.grib2
