Change to GRIB encoding
The GRIB model identifiers (generating process identification number) for cycle 50r1 will be changed as follows:
GRIB 1 Section 1 Octets | GRIB 2 Section 4 Octets | ecCodes key | Component | Model identifier | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
49r1 | 50r1 | ||||
6 | 14 | generatingProcessIdentifier | Atmospheric model | 158 | 161 |
6 | 14 | generatingProcessIdentifier | Ocean wave model | 106 | 109 |
6 | 14 | generatingProcessIdentifier | soil moisture model | 146 | 146 |
For all parameters in GRIB 2 the Master Tables Version Number will be changed as follows:
GRIB 2 Section 1 Octets | ecCodes key | Master Tables Version Number | |
|---|---|---|---|
49r1 | 50r1 | ||
