Extension of the reforecast period from 1991-2010 to 1991-2016.

...

In reference to Tennant(2013), the soil moisture content(SMC) and surface temperature perturbations were added to KMA’s Global Ensemble system. It should improve predictive performance of the surface variations that have a smaller spread than the upper level one. Together with SST perturbation, it helps improving the spread of surface temperature and moisture.
