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
  • in red colour   WMO GRIB2 definition does not exist yet

Useful links:

Attached documents to this page which were used for creation of GRIB2 UERRA definitions (they are linked above too):

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

...

Output of analyses on model levels are stored up to a height of about 15km every six hours (at 00/06/12/18UTC).

*** Exact type of each model levels must be clarified. Here are the possibilities from WMO doc (p.38).

  • 104 Sigma leve level
  • 105 Hybrid level
  • 111 Eta level
  • 113 Logarithmic hybrid level
  • 118 Hybrid height level
  • 119 Hybrid pressure level
  • 150 Generalized vertical height coordinate
