Downloadable from our Releases page.

Please note:

In the near future, official support for sub-hourly GRIB2 data will be released.
This will have an impact on users of ecCodes who currently produce sub-hourly GRIB2 data.
We strongly encourage you to contact us ahead of time so that we can help you adapt to the changes that this release will bring.

 

Please note some important changes in this release (v2.32.0) of ecCodes:

  • The tigge_* tools have been removed (tigge_check, tigge_split etc)
  • The grib1to2 script has been removed

Please note: There is a new webpage for the Migration to GRIB2: Migration to GRIB2
This webpage also includes a section where changes in the parameter encodings for the coming ecCodes versions are documented: Changes in the parameter encodings
