Description & Technical Information

Description

GLAMEPS (Grand Limited Area Model Ensemble Prediction System) is a 48+4-member multi-model ensemble, with 4 control members plus 48 perturbed members. GLAMEPS is run over 4 cycles per day for hours 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC, where each cycle runs a 24+4 member ensemble. The member configuration is such that two consecutive cycles make up a full 48+4 member ensemble.
The provided products are: a) 6h accumulated rainfall probability maps, b) 6h accumulated snowfall probability maps for wet and dry snowfall, c) Wind gust probability maps, d) Mean wind probability maps, e) Fractiles of 6-hourly precipitation accumulation, f) Fractiles of mean wind at 10 m, g) Fractiles of gust speeds at 10 m, h) Probability maps of freezing rain and drizzle, i) 2-m temperature fractiles, j) Probability of 1h precipitation, k) Probability of 24h precipitation, and k) Probability of 1h snowfall.
