The initial conditions are available at a range of different resolutions and start dates for a 10 day forecast. The experiment ids are created at ECMWF and used for identifying the model forecasts on the ECMWF archive system (for those with access).
Note that ERA-Interim has a resolution of T255 and the operational resolution at that time was T319. Initial data has been spectrally interpolated to the model resolutions.
