from the Eureka Alert article:

One of the main changes - one of only a handful of its kind in 40 years of European weather cooperation - increases the number of global points where a weather prediction is made to more than 900 million. This reduces the average distance between points from 16 km to 9 km in the highest-resolution forecasts. Ensemble forecasts describing the range of possible scenarios and their likelihood are moving from 32 and 64 to 18 km up to forecast day 15. There are up to 137 layers of these prediction points, forming a network of grid points from near the Earth's surface up to the stratosphere.




and yet, it did poorly in the east coast storm
