Hi, You can use the file from: http://ecmwf.int/staff/paco_doblas/MM_cnrm_129_red.ncthat contains monthly means of geopotential height from ensemble seasonal forecasts.
The six dimensions used in the file are time: number of start dates of the forecasts ensemble: ensemble size fcmonth: forecast month level latitude longitudeYou'll notice that we have defined some variables that are not defined in the CF convention. We decided to use them to properly define files containing multi-model ensemble forecasts.

In case this is not currently possible, is it something that might be possible in a near future?Could you put out a sample file that we can take a look at?
