Expired ECMWF ENSemble Extended forecasts and Reforcasts for Renewable power in Europe
Abstract
This dataset comprises past ensemble weather forecasts and reforecasts from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
It contains surface-level weather variables relevant for energy modelling over the European continent. The data contains 50-member ensemble runs from ENS Extended (since 2012) and 20x10 member runs from the Reforecast (since 2016)
Collected from the ECMWF archive, the data spans potential weather scenarios equivalent to several thousand years. Due to the chaotic nature of weather, these ensemble forecasts, initiated from slightly perturbed snapshots, offer diverse predictions on potential weather outcomes, including accurate spatial correlations. The dataset aims to provide a richer base for modelling renewable energy systems, especially in scenarios beyond the standard 40-year weather record data, and facilitates the application of data-intensive machine learning techniques in energy modelling.
Only certain years have been fully collected.

| Data lineage: |
This dataset comprises of outputs of ECMWF's numerical integration of their ENS Extended and Reforecast products. The data has been collated from the ECMWF MARS archive through WebAPI requests. Each (re)forecast has been limited to selected variables, cropped to the European continent, and interpolated from the original Octohedral grid to 0.4° or 0.5° lat lon grid. The temporal and ensemble extent has been limited to: |
| Data Quality: |
The data has been collected with minimal processing directly from the ECMWF archive. All original metadata has been preserved.
