description View licence

IFS Medium-range Control forecast (Wave) is coupled to the IFS Medium-range Control forecast and it provides direct output "High Frequency products":

  • 4 forecast runs per day (00/06/12/18) (see dissemination schedule for details)
  • Hourly steps to step 90 for all four runs

The model computes between the latitudes -78 and 90, the output grid is artificially extended to -90.
