September 1st 2025 we will terminate the production of the barents_eps_*T*Z.nc files (four times a day, 6 members) and their accompanying mean files barents_mean_*T*Z.nc. These are replaced with NCML files: - for each bulletin (four times a day, 6 members) : barents2500_his_sfc_*T*Z_ens_96h.ncml - for the full ensemble (daily, 24 members) : barents2500_his_sfc_*_ens_96h.ncml
Additionally, we now produce a new mean based on all 24 members as well as the accompanying spread (standard deviation): - barents2500_his_sfc_*_ensmean_96h.nc - barents2500_his_sfc_*_ensstd_96h.nc
Files based on the full ensemble are available after all members have been processed, typically early the following day. All updates regard surface fields from Barents-2.5km EPS, and full depth fields are not affected by this change.
We have parallel production of the files, and will continue until September 1st 2025.
Note: If you are already using NCML files from Barents EPS, please note the name change (we will continue parallel production with the old file name until September 1).
