ECMWF IFS ENS forecast, 6 day, 0.1 degree, virtual validation report

This dataset validation report plots a sample of values from the ECMWF IFS ENS forecast, 6 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 present only for control member 0.
Additional member check All variables inspected at member 25, initialization 2026-11-02T00:00, lead 24 hours.

Availability

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

Every variable is complete at every scanned position.

Decode health

12,040 sampled variable/source checks passed across 20 of 80 initialization regions, 5 forecast leads, sampled ensemble members and up to 2 present pressure levels per group variable. A check may read more than one member or level chunk; this is sampled decode health rather than an exhaustive decode of every archived value.
