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.
Wrong units of Snow depth water equivalent
Info

1. Brief  description:

The snow depth water equivalent has been provided from CNRM model  by mistake in meters instead of the requested kg/m2.  

The error will be fixed in the upgraded system coming in 2025 (with the maximum values  close to 750000 kg/m2 on glaciers and ice-sheets)

2. Recommendation:

Users need to multiply the snow depth field by 1000 to get the same units as for other S2S models.
