Dutch term or phrase: ensemble delen
In de periode tot 7 dagen voor een ergst denkbare overstroming geven opeenvolgende deterministische weerprognoses en ensemble delen uit het rekencentrum in Reading (Engeland) geen groter inzicht of hogere zekerheid op het optreden van een extreme storm.

Explanation:
http://www.wmo.ch/pages/prog/hwrp/documents/EXPERTMEETINGWAT...

The meeting showed that climate predictions and seasonal climate outlooks at present have the highest potential to be more readily used while predictions of climate variability and change, while inherently useful, are not yet ready to be applied from an engineering point of view and other techniques, such as using multi-model ensembles and downscaling techniques are required to improve prediction skills to reduce large uncertainties.
(…)
In order to statistically improve on climate prediction uncertainties, the use of multi-model ensembles has shown to be useful. However, with regard to information on the variability in the ensemble distribution, the there is little evidence that there is any information in the ensemble beyond the shift in the ensemble mean. For application purposes, most information is contained in the ensemble mean.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Ken Cox: 'ensemble components' would also work; here 'ensemble' is a fancy word for 'set'

  -> Thanks, Ken. Yes, I think 'components' would certainly work here.
agree  sindy cremer: Yes, it refers to the "Ensemble Prediction System".
12 mins
  -> Thanks, Sindy.
agree  Kitty Brussaard: Or perhaps 'ensemble simulations' or 'ensemble members' (cf. Google)? An 'ensemble forecast' seems to consist of a number of simulations. See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensemble_forecasting
43 mins
  -> Thanks, Kitty. Yes, lots of possibilities for 'parts' I think.
agree  Neil Cross: Or maybe even "ensemble elements" (I think we're all agreed on the "ensemble" bit!). BTW, the rekencentrum in question is the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts - www.ecmwf.int
