Cycle 46r1 live-streamed seminars

We have organised two live-streamed seminars to introduce the new IFS cycle 46r1. The first seminar has mainly covered the Scientific changes made in the new Cycle (see recording and slides below). The second seminar focused more on the meteorological impact and scores of the new cycle, with details on how to access the Cycle 46r1 release candidate  test data
