Evaluate ERA5 short-range forecasts as reference
In this branch, the ERA5 short-range forecast grib-files will be processed to yield a collection of netCDF-files that can be used for comparison in the meta_postprocessing-step.
For this the resulting datafiles will have the same form as the netCDF-files resulting from the postprocessing-step.
Currently, only data for lead times between 6 and 12 hours can be processed. Note also, that the initial times are also limited to 06 and 18 UTC (see link!). However, Olaf Stein will be contacted for the remaining lead times.
Finally, we only have access to data from 2016 and 2019. Year 2010 which is used as a testing dataset is therefore not available.
The rawdata is available in MeteoCloud under /p/fastdata/slmet/slmet111/met_data/ecmwf/era5/grib/<year>/<month>/fc_[06,18]/<date>_sf_fc.grb
