ECMWF IFS ENS forecast, 15 day, 0.1 degree, virtual validation report

This dataset validation report plots a sample of values from the ECMWF IFS ENS forecast, 15 day, 0.1 degree, virtual dataset over time and across space, comparing where possible to a previously validated reference dataset. It also reports the quantity of unavailable values and their associated timestamps. These analyses are one layer of a multi-layered dataset validation process we perform at dynamical.org and also provide users a preview of the dataset contents.

Static-field sampling Surface geopotential height, orography standard deviation and orography slope use lead 0 for spatial and full-period point plots; they are published only for control member 0.
Additional member check Every variable inspected at member 25, initialization 2026-11-02T00:00, lead 150 hours; these maps appear in each variable section.

Availability

The plot below shows the availability of each variable over time — light red marks unavailable data, dark green marks present data.

availability heatmap

Every variable is complete at every scanned position.

Decode health

12,040 sampled variable/source checks passed across 20 of 42 initialization regions. The sampled leads are 0, 63, 126, 234 and 360 hours, with ensemble endpoints 0 and 50 and up to two referenced pressure levels per group variable. A check can read more than one member or level chunk. File completeness and per-variable presence are exhaustive within the tested initialization window; decode health is sampled. Variable presence does not establish that every level is referenced.
