More details about the syntax of area and grid in MARS/WebAPI can be found here. |
Users must be aware of the following:
- Use of area for regional subselection is safe.
- Use of grid for horizontal interpolation is currently NOT recommended:
- It can lead to errors when trying to download MetOffice data. More information about what causes this error can be found in Known issue D2.
- It can lead to failing data retrievals if more than one model version (system) is requested. Note that if system is not explicitly specified it defaults to all available systems.
- Data previously downloaded using Web API may have used a different interpolation method; you would need to assess whether such differences are relevant for your choice of data. This issue is relevant in the context of the required consistency between interpolation of real-time forecasts and the associated hindcasts.
