Blog from November, 2019

The November 2019 release of our software provides many fixes and improvements!

ecCodes, the heart of GRIB and BUFR handling, adds support for new GRIB data e.g. Copernicus regional reanalysis and S2S ocean parameters. It also includes the latest versions of GRIB/BUFR tables/templates released by the WMO in early November.

Metview, ECMWF's interactive and batch software for manipulation and plotting of data, brings some small fixes for improved NetCDF support, better titles on FLEXPART plots and more stable RPM installations.

Magics, ECMWF's plotting library, adds some small fixes including for wind plotting, plus improved plotting of administrative boundaries.


Please note that when building from source, the minimum CMake version requirement is 3.6.

Metview is built at ECMWF with all the versions of our libraries listed in the table below, and all are included in the November 2019 Metview Bundle. The versions are available on all ECMWF computer systems as "new" versions. If you encounter any issues please feel free to send feedback to Software.Support@ecmwf.int.
