RASP-UK – Schedule of Runs
R == Resolution: 12Km, 5Km or 4 Km;
D == Initialisation time; here, 0Z, 12Z or 18Z;
+N == today (+0), tomorrow (+1), etc.
Note that individual forecast run times are variable.
Morning runs are “end-on”: the next starts as soon as the current one has finished.
Times are therefore indicative.
