ECMWF has made the most extensive model upgrade in years. They made a great job documenting the changes. However, it may be hard to make sense of all the details and understanding how all this affects your usage of the forecasts.

The video shows you

  • Which models are added.
  • What is the most important change to existing EC modes?

Energy Quantified’s Gantt chart of the forecast update schedule gives an intuitive overview that is easy to remember.
