 For this dataset, it is important to keep in mind that it is available for the period 09/1901 until 12/2010, and that the temporal resolution is limited to 3 h. 
-It is also a pure ensemble data assimilation dataset and is stored under the ``enda`` stream. There are 10 ensemble members. The example ``CONTROL`` files will only select the first member (``number=0``). You may change this to another number or a list of numbers (e.g. ``NUMBER 0/to/10``).
-Another important difference to all other datasets is that the forecast starting time is 18 UTC. This means that forecasts for flux fields cover 12 hours. Since the forecast extends over a single day we need to extract one day in advance and one day subsequently. This is automatically done in ``flex_extract``.

-    As a default, e-mails are sent to the mail address connected with the user account. It is possible to overwrite this by specifying one or more e-mail addresses (comma-separated list). In order to include the e-mail associated with the user account, add ``${USER}`` to the list.
