- simplest way how to get rather smaller ad hoc data samples (approximately up-to 20 000 retrieved fields per request)

The ECMWF access in batch should be used for most common types of work (big data samples retrievals)
Data monitoring
- Visual data quality monitoring
For the purpose of simple visual data quality monitoring some maps and histograms are produced for every forecast date and chosen model outputs (see the link in the Resources section). Only the first perturbed eps member and control forecast (if exists) are monitored at two chosen forecast leading times (0 and the latest available one common for all monitored datasets) - History page
The data gaps caused by any kind of problems can be checked via so called TIGGE-LAM history web page linked in the Resources section.
