NOTE
For those systems with multiple start dates the "nominal" start date is assigned as follows:
Météo-France system 6: nominal month M includes the members initialized on the last weeks of month M-1 and on the 1st of month M
GloSea5-GC2: nominal month M includes the members initialized on the 1st of month M and on the 25th, 17th and 9th of month M-1
