Info
titleWork in progress (temporary)

 

Remarks:

  • ***  should be confirmed by UERRA
  • ???  should be reviewed by GRIB-API team
  • +++ parameter must be added to GRIB-API
  • !!!    WMO GRIB2 definition does not exist yet

Attached document to this page which were used for creation of GRIB2 UERRA definitions:

  • radiation_in_mars.pdf (to understand the radiation fluxes)
  • Parameter_table_20150427.docx (the latest official version of agreed upon UERRA parameters)
