This is an old revision of the document!


Description

The atmospheric initial conditions are generated with the IFS code at ECMWF using the FULLPOS system which is a physical interpolation that takes into account the model definitions. The initial conditions are currently generated from ERA-Interim and ERA40, while the surface parameters are replaced in some ICs with the ERA-Land analysis. The ERA-Land analysis is forced by bias-corrected input and represent the surface variables more accurate than ERA-Interim. The members are generated using singular vectors (SV-Pert) or with random perturbations of the SST (SST-Pert). At BSC, the initial conditions are available in the following folder: /esarchive/releases/ic/atmos/[resol]/[exp]/

Need for atmospheric initial conditions

Add here any needs on initial conditions:

Current problems to generate intial conditions

1) ERA-Land conditions are only available until 20160831.

2) ERA-Land conditions are only available after 1980, conditions prior to this date can not be produced currently.
