Met Éireann’s IREPS weather forecasting system
The Irish Meteorological Service blog the innards of their current forecasting system, IREPS — lots of juicy technical detail! Apparently it is a HARMONIE-AROME based model configuration: ‘In 2018, Met Éireann developed its first ensemble-based NWP system, known as the Irish Regional Ensemble Prediction System (IREPS). Originally run twice per day, this system produced 11 forecasts (known as members) for weather conditions over the next 36 hours. On April 15th 2020, the IREPS system was upgraded to a 54-hour, 11-member ensemble which is run four times per day.’
