Increased field sizes
The size of the gaussian Gaussian grid point fields produced have increased by a factor of 3 while the size of the spectral fields remains unchanged. When retrieving data via MARS or dissemination, if no spectral truncation or grid resolutions are specified, fields are provided at model resolution.
In particular, users should be aware of the increase in memory and CPU time needed to process the increased resolution (grid-point) fields and adjust their programs and batch scripts appropriately. Increase in data volume provides a summary of the field sizes at the new horizontal resolutions.

The data are intended for testing technical aspects only and should not be used for operational forecasting. Only data from 12 UTC on 9 November 2015 have been produced with the corrected land-sea mask and other climatological fields. All registered users of ECMWF computing systems will be able to access the test data sets in MARS. Users of our operational real time forecasts without access to our systems can contact our Data Services to obtain test data. |
