The September 2024 release of our software provides many new features, improvements and fixes! Note that the packages below are part of a much larger software stack used at ECMWF, and this is part of a release that is synchronised between all these packages.
ecCodes
ecCodes, the heart of GRIB and BUFR handling, brings several new features, improvements and fixes in version 2.38.0:
- Performance improvements
- Latest GRIB/BUFR WMO tables
- New/updated GRIB parameters
- Miscellaneous bug fixes
- See the release notes for full details
Metview
Metview 5.23.0 brings new and improved vertical interpolation functions! pl_to_hl() interpolates data on pressure levels onto height levels, and geometric_height_from_geopotential() and geopotential_from_geometric_height() convert data between geometric height and geopotential height. See the release notes, which contain details and examples of these and more!
The new functionality allows for height-level cross sections with orography to be produced from pressure-level data.
The software versions of this release are available on ECMWF's HPC as part of the module called ecmwf-toolbox (version 2024.09.0.0) and all are included in the The Metview Source Bundle. Versions on conda and brew should be available in the coming days. If you encounter any issues please feel free to use the ECMWF Support Portal.
