The CAMS forecast e-suite (experiment gznv) was started on 2018-06-01 based on IFS CY45R1 to couple the new the GHG analysis experiment (gwx3) running 4-days behind real time and the high resolution cyclic forecast run. This new experiment benefits from a couple of bug fixes in the modelled biogenic fluxes which result in an improved seasonal cycle in the northern hemisphere and some degradation in the tropics.
Main features are:
The experiment was initialized from the GHG analysis experiment gwx3.
The coupling with the analysis is done by merging the 4-day forecast from GHG delayed analysis experiment and the cyclic high resolution forecast.
