Impact of the new cycle
A comprehensive evaluation report of the 47r1 e-suite is being prepared by CAMS 84 has been prepared documenting all the changes and their impact on the forecasts. Noteworthy improvements w.r.t to the current o-suite cycle 46r1 are:
- strongly reduced stratospheric ozone bias (10-20 hPa range) because of the HLO ozone scheme
- strongly reduced positive SO2 surface bias, especially during night time, in Europe and North-America because of the introduction of injection heights for SO2 emissions
- increased fine and ultra fine mode sea-salt and reduced corse mode sea-salt because of the new sea-salt emissions scheme
- increased surface PM2.5 leading to improvements over Europe
- reduced positive dust biases in desert-affected regions, which also reduce overestimation of PM10

Availability of test data from the cycle 47r1 test suites
To be completedThe CAMS operational FTP server (ECPDS) currently serves the most recent 3 days of test data in the directories "/DATA/CAMS_GLOBAL_TEST" and "/DATA/CAMS_EUROPE_BC_TEST" for global and regional boundary condition data, respectively. In addition, surface level fields (model level 137) are provided as individual files in the CAMS_GLOBAL_ADDITIONAL_TEST directory. Users wanting to access the output from the current test system for a longer period can access the data from 1 October 2019 onwards directly on MARS or through our WebAPI.
