Dataset
Stratospheric Nudging And Predictable Surface Impacts (SNAPSI): control data produced by the IFS model at ECMWF
Abstract
This dataset contains model data for SNAPSI experiment 'control' produced by scientists at ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, United Kingdom). This dataset contains all ensemble members produced by the ECMWF IFS model.
The SNAPSI project is a model intercomparison project to study the role of the stratosphere in subseasonal forecasts following stratospheric sudden warmings and the representation of stratosphere-troposphere coupling in subseasonal forecast models.
The control experiment is a set of retrospective, 45-day, 50-member ensemble forecasts. Following the initial date, the stratospheric zonal mean temperatures and zonal winds are nudged towards the time-evolving climatological state. The forecasts are initialized on the date indicated by the sub-experiment id; for instance, the sub-experiment 's20180125' is initialized on 25 January 2018. The ocean, sea-ice, land-surface and ozone are all initialized and run prognostically.
