Abstract
Data from the operational NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) output from the global atmospheric part of the Met Office Unified Model. Analyses and first forecast steps are stored to give an hourly time resolution for 6 hours following each analysis time-step. This archive currently holds data from January 2012 onwards but data will be back populated for earlier years.

| Data lineage: |
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: |
Operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) data from the Met Office.
|
| File Format: |
Met Office PP file format.
