Info

1. Brief  description:

After the latest CNRM model change in October 2020, the CNRM grid is inverted, i.e. j-dimension scans positively (south to north) instead of negatively (north to south) as per the S2S requirement  Encoding#Gridandresolution

As the related GRIB 2 scanningMode changed from 0 to 64, such GRIB 2 encoding is correct in principle. Still it is not desirable for reasons of consistency with the previous encoding of CNRM data, and in addition may cause problems for users.

2. Recommendation:

Users should be aware of this when processing CNRM data from the affected period.
