z_cams_c_ ecmf_20160704120000_prod_fc_ml_012_go3.nc  contains all the model levels of step 12 O3 fields from a forecast which was started on 7 July 2016 at 12:00 UTC in NetCDF format.

Data format

Model level fields are in GRIB2 format. All other fields are in GRIB1, unless otherwise indicated. NetCDF format is available also.

Note

From cycle 48R1, there are important changes to the GRIB encoding for model levels fields, relating to packing and GRIB tables. Please see this page for full details: Implementation of IFS cycle 48r1 for CAMS#ChangetoGRIBencoding

The 'packingType' can be changed using ECMWF's ecCodes:

Code Block
# CCSDS -> simple

grib_set -r -s packingType=grid_simple in.grib2 out.grib

# Simple -> CCSDS

grib_set -r -s packingType=grid_ccsds in.grib out.grib2

Data availability

The latest model cycle based on the 00 UTC analysis is normally available by 10:00 UTC, the cycle based on 12 UTC analysis is available by 22:00 UTC.
