In the coming months several system upgrades are expected from the seasonal forecast providers to C3S. Additionally, we will soon see the incorporation of a new contributor to the C3S multi-system - the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM).
More details will be given in due course, as some of the dates are still tentative; this is a first announcement about the upcoming changes.
- November 2024: (* see UPDATE NOTE below)
- CMCC’s contribution will be upgraded to a new forecast system version (SPS4)
- BoM’s ACCESS-S2 forecast system will be incorporated into the C3S seasonal forecast activity
- March 2025:
- DWD’s contribution will be upgraded to a new forecast system version (GCFS2.2)
- Météo-France’s contribution will be upgraded to a new forecast system version (System9)
[UPDATE NOTE]
Due to a set of technical issues, the previously announced operational changes planned for November 2024 (CMCC upgrade to SPS4 and introduction of BOM ACCESS-S2) have been now delayed. Details about new timelines will be communicated when they become available.
