In the current operational cycle 49R1 Ensemble Control Forecast (stream:type = enfo:cf) is bit-identical to deterministic forecast (oper:fc (00/12) / scda:fc (06/18)) and Wave Ensemble Control Forecast (waef:cf) is bit-identical to Wave Deterministic Forecast (wave:fc (00/12) / scwv:fc (06/18)).

|---|---|---|---|---|

| 6 / 18 | scda | |||
| 0 / 12 | waef | cf | wave | fc |

As part of the 50r1 IFS Cycle implementation, the composition of the data production will change. The 'HRES' will be deprecated in concept, but the oper:fc and wave:fc will continue. enfo:cf and waef:cf are going to be stopped. scda and scwv streams will be merged with oper and wave respectively. use = bc keyword will be deprecated from the product requirements resulting in file-naming changes detailed below.
Dissemination requirement containing control forecast of enfo and waef streams will need to be modified to equivalent streams presented on the diagram.
It is possible to make changes early, before start of the release candidate suite as indicated with vertical arrows on the diagram. e.g. from enfo:cf:00/12 to oper:fc:00/12. Making early changes would give more time for adjustment of programs using disseminated data. However, we do not recommend changing dissemination requirements containing 06/18 runs. This is because current equivalent deterministic streams scda and scwv are going to be discontinued and integrated to oper and wave in 50R1. Therefore, it will be easier to adjust these during the release candidate phase.
