- In practice, the current configuration for HRES will become the IFS-CF. This means anyone receiving stream=enfo, type=cf will need to migrate to stream=oper, type=fc (and to stream=scda, type=fc for 06z/18z runs) before the date of the implementation.
- This is something all users can do now, even before the cycle upgrade later in the year.
- Early adoption will ensure a smoother transition when the cycle implementation takes place.
- The current HRES (stream=oper, type=fc) is now bit-identical to the control forecast of the IFS-ENS (stream=enfo, type=cf).
- At the moment, the timing will remain as per the current dissemination schedule, meaning the control will be delivered ahead of the perturbed forecasts.
