titleParameter units
Please take care with units. Parameters marked in yellow are those that are typically disseminated in units "(0-1)" or "m" in the ECMWF operational output.

Layer-based fields

The parameters on "levtype=sol", i.e. those produced from layer-based models (such as soil and ice layers), on the O8000 grid are as follows:
