An update of the mars keys is required to be able to support some new products within the MARS catalogue that underlies the Emergency Warning Data Store fire danger indices datasets.
Preparations are underway to migrate the data into a new structure. While this work is on going, there will no longer be updates to this dataset until further notice.

The dataset will remain available until the ingestion of the data into the new tree structure is complete.


What is not changing?


Once the ingestion of data into mars is complete, the data Data values will be identical to the existing data that has previously downloaded.

...

This is the output of grib_ls -m and grib_ls for the new and old structures.
