We are pleased to announce a new release of the OpenIFS single column model (SCM). This is taken from the ECMWF IFS version 43r3, which was the operational model at ECMWF from July 2017 to June 2018.

SCM 43r3 marks a significant upgrade compared to the previous release 40r1. There is a new radiation code, ecRad, and numerous updates to the physics parametrizations.

For more information on this release, please see the SCM 43r3 Release Notes.

The model is now available on the OpenIFS ftp site to licensed users.

Thanks are due to past OpenIFS team member, Filip Vana, for preparing this version of the model.


Any issues/queries can be directed to either the OpenIFS User Forums, or by email to openifs-support@ecmwf.int.
