Spin-up issues
Info |
---|
Description: These spin-up problems are in some situations causing too high wind speeds for the 1-2 hour forecasts. This is most pronounced in the wind gust but the problem also occurs for the mean wind at 10 meter altitude. Similar problems can be seen for maximum/minimum temperature. Then in general there is a spin-up problem for precipitation. Here, it is not recommended to use the first 6 hours of the forecasts. Therefore, if a user wants to use the 24 hour accumulated precipitation it is recommended to use the 30-6 hour forecasts. |
Wrong 0% values in relative humidity, cloud cover and albedo fields
Info |
---|
Description: The same issue can be probably found in cloud cover and albedo fields as well but its extent there is not known. |

Time-integrated surface solar radiation downwards
Info |
---|
Description: The time-integrate surface solar radiation downwards which comprises of both the direct and diffuse short wave radiation reaching the Earth's surface, ought to be positive by definition. Whilst archiving, it was found that it also contains negative values that were traced back to being an artefact from the downscaling from 11 km to 5.5 km. As a work around, we would suggest setting any negative values to zero. |

MO datasets (UM, UM/En)
The wind directions are wrong by exactly 180 degrees
Info |
---|
Description: The wind directions are wrong by exactly 180 degrees (the direction is the wind is blowing to, rather than where it is blowing from) The U/V components are not affected. |
