ECMWF Model

(follow the model version links below for more details)

changes include increased ocean model resolution to 1/4 degree and active sea-ice
operational since 22/11/2016 (included)

changes include extension of re-forecast ensemble size to 11 twice-weekly and forecast length to 46 days
operational from 14/05/2015 (included) to 8/03/2016 (excluded)
