Abstract

This dataset contains model data from the Met Office Unified Model (UM) operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) European high resolution model. This is a regional downscaled configuration of the Unified Model, covering a European domain, with hourly forecast data covering the period T+1 to T+54 hours. With a resolution of approximately 0.04 degrees it is able to produce selected hourly data covering the first 48 hours at surface level and at standard pressure levels four times a day. The model’s initial state is kept close to the real atmosphere by starting from a downscaled global starting condition.

This archive currently holds data from April 2016 onwards but data will be back populated for earlier years.

Use of these data is covered by the following licence: http://licences.ceda.ac.uk/image/data_access_condition/ukmo_agreement.pdf. When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record.
Data lineage:

New data repository of the UK Met Office wholesale NWP data at CEDA.
Following data transfer issues between the Met Office and the BADC, the Met Office NWP data updates were suspended on 18th January 2012. A new data transfer route was established and at the same time, CEDA-BADC decided to revamp the entire NWP archive and created a new NWP archive. This new archive is essentially a mirror of a subset of the NWP archive at the Met Office (as extracted from the Met Office Archive Storage System (MASS)).

Data Quality:
See dataset associated documentation
File Format:
Data are GRIB formatted.
