New model output parameters are usually introduced with the implementation of new model cycles. Details are provided on the information pages for each cycle.
Additional changes to the forecast products (for example new charts, or new post-processed outputs such as the Extreme Forecast Index) can be made at other times. Recent changes are listed below.
- IFS cycle 43r1, 22 November 2016. New model output fields for HRES and ENS comprise four cloud and freezing diagnostics (for aviation), and a new direct-beam solar radiation diagnostic. In addition, eight new wave model output fields are provided. Additional information about some of these parameters is available below:
- Simulated satellite data 18 March 2016.
- IFS cycle 41r2, 8 March 2016. New model output fields for HRES and ENS include accumulated freezing rain accumulation, CAPE-shear, and significant wave height of all waves with period larger than 10s.
