Analysis charts
-
@damir120505 The ECMWF model is updated every 12 hours (every 6 hours with Windy Premium). Each model has a different update times.

Please show a screenshot ! You are not clear.
Are you talking about time shown in the time line or in Meteogram? -
@idefix37, I'll show example on GFS. Last update - 00 UTC. First available forecast is for 01 UTC (+001). But I need chart for 00 UTC hour (+000 or Analysis).

@idefix37
I think damir talks about initial data for every run of the model. -
@damir120505 The forecast data are valid until the next update time (or ref time). This is just how the GFS or other models work.
-
@korina, any model have analysis map. If model updated in 00 UTC it has forecast for +001 and analysis. But analysis ISN'T forecast of previous model run. For example, init time and valid time are same on this picture. Unfortunately, Windy has no analysis map.

@korina, I knew the information from the topic before.
Indeed, before starting to calculate weather forecasts for the future, the model analyzes the weather at 00 and 12 UTC and receives a "map" for this time. This time is called analysis or +000 hours. But the first available term in Windy is an hour or 3 after the analysis (+001 or +003 hour). -
@damir120505
For ECMWF Analysis is not disseminated together with Forecasts.
https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/documentation-and-support/data-delivery/dissemination-scheduleMay be Windy chose not to acquire the Analysis but only the Forecasts.
Same for GFS
