- Output time: 00 and 12 UTC
Output frequency: the model output steps should be the shortest available between 1 and 12 6 hours (including step 0)
Output type: forecast
- only one forecast product per centre is expected for verification (the best available one for common inter-comparison)
- Domain: regular latitude‐longitude grid at the resolution best matching the native resolution of the direct model output
- if several limited areas will be provided they should be merged into one larger area on a regular lat-lon grid, with a missing value indicator in the grid-points not covered.

- The data will be pulled via ftp from an agreed server location at the data producer's site.
- The ECMWF's acquisition system will be used for handling the production data exchange.
- Participants are committed to guarantee a steady and reliable provision of their data and to communicate any relevant changes.
- The support mailing list on provider's side will be required to allow smooth communication related to common production issues in the future.
