Naming convention
The following dissemination filename convention is used for the transmission of ECMWF dissemination products:
ccSMMDDHHIImmddhhiiE where:
- cc is Dissemination stream name
- S is dissemination data stream indicator
- MMDDHHII is month, day, hour and minute on which the products are based
- mmddhhii is month, day, hour and minute on which the products are valid at
- ddhhii is set to “______” for Seasonal Forecasting System products
- ii is set to 01 for high resolution forecast time step zero, type=fc, step=0
- E is the Experiment Version Number’ (as EXPVER in MARS, normally 1)
