+This collection offers 1 parameter at 33 available height levels (5m to 6000m) from the Met Office global deterministic 10km forecast. This is a numerical weather prediction forecast for the whole globe, with a resolution of approximately 0.09 degrees i.e. 10km (2,560 x 1,920 grid points). 
+
+The data is available as NetCDF files. It's offered on a free, unsupported basis, so we don’t recommend using it for any critical business purposes.
+
+## Height Levels
+Available height levels, in metres (m) above ground, are: 
+* 5.0 10.0 20.0 30.0 50.0 75.0 100.0 150.0 200.0 250.0 300.0 400.0 500.0 600.0 700.0 800.0 1000.0 1250.0 1500.0 1750.0 2000.0 2250.0 2500.0 2750.0 3000.0 3250.0 3500.0 3750.0 4000.0 4500.0 5000.0 5500.0 6000.0
+
+## Timesteps
+The following timesteps are available:
+* every hour from 0 to 54 hours
+* every 3 hours from 57 to 144 hours
+* every 6 hours from 150 to 168 hours
+
+## Update Frequency
+The model is run four times each day, with forecast reference times of 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 (UTC).
+
+The runs at 00:00 and 12:00 provide data for the next 168 hours. The runs at 06:00 and 18:00 provide data for the next 67 hours.
+
+The forecast reference time represents the nominal data time or start time of a model forecast run, rather than the time when the data is available.
+
+## Archive length and latency
+As of December 2025, the archive contains data from December 2023 onwards. Forecasts will continue to be available for at least two years from their data date.
+
+The data is typically available 6 hours after the model run time.
+
+## Technical specs
+The data is available as NetCDF files. NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is an interface for array-orientated data access and a library that supports the interface. It is composed of 3 components:
+* Variables store the data 
+* Dimensions give relevant dimension information for the variables
+* Attributes provide auxiliary information about the variables or dataset itself 
+
+NetCDF is used within the atmospheric and oceanic science communities and is network transparent, allowing for it to be accessed by computers that store integers, characters and floating-point numbers.
+
+Iris supports NetCDF files through reading, writing and handling. Iris implements a model based on the CF conventions, giving a format-agnostic interface for working with data.
