Abstract

T106 Spectral data from ECMWF's operational forecasting system from 1st March 1994 to 1st November 2000 containing analyses and forecasts produced by the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) model on model levels. Coverage is not complete for these data. Users needing data at this resolution as opposed to the T159 data should contact user support to discuss requirements.
