This is technically enlightening but undeniably has ‘ukmo’ written on it... and indeed is what one may consider ‘extended’ output. So I don’t really understand what the big hoo-har is about the original post- There’s no reason to discount the link.
There's no hoo-har, and apologies if it seems that way
If I posted a GFS Control run chart at T+168 as being "GFS Extended" from the Op run at T+144, then it wouldn't be correct.
That's the only point I'm trying to make. The link is perfectly valid as a continuation of the lower resolution UKMO global model ensemble suite, so alongside the previous charts of that ENS run it make perfect sense. Trouble is I think almost 100% of members think it's a continuation of the deterministic run that we see on TWO/WZ etc. when it's posted.
Anyway, too hot here. Time for the fans.
