Abstract

The TIGGE data archive provides a valuable resource for research of probabilistic forecast techniques. Archive Centers at ECMWF and NCAR are currently collecting and archiving 150 GB/day of global ensemble model data from ECMWF, UKMO, NCEP, and JMA. Additional data providers plan on initiating TIGGE data contributions in the near future. Access to the TIGGE archive is offered in several ways: • Forecast files organized by model initialization date/time, data provider, parameter level type, and forecast time-step (the most recent two to three weeks of forecast data available for immediate download at NCAR). • Data may be provided on writeable media, upon request. • All TIGGE data are available to NCAR users from the MSS. • Subset and interpolated grids across all data providers will be available by delayed mode processing by mid-2007. The primary focus is to provide a high quality archive with an emphasis on data delivery. The NCAR TIGGE archive has been designed to promote efficient access for a large variety of users and requests. It is actively supported by data specialists who provide: consultation on the archive products; locally developed software; and individual requests that require non-routine data processing and possible data delivery on media. Basic data services and access methods for the archive are now available with additional services coming in the near future.
