You can try the new MIR-enabled MARS client with :

No Format
mars -m

You are encouraged to test this new version of the MARS client and report back any issues to advisory@ecmwf.intthe MIR interpolation library is currently in BETA, and it is meant for tests only. Do not use it for any operational purpose.


MIR stands for Meteorological Interpolation and Regridding and is a interpolation and regridding tool and library. This new piece of software is replacing the veteran EMOSLIB when it comes to perform those operations in MARS.  Beyond this, MIR’s flexible design facilitates scalability improvements and additional features. These include efficiency gains, a high degree of user configurability, and support for a wider range of grids than in the current package.

Default Behaviour.

Transformation from T1279 to an intermediate F90 full (regular) Gaussian grid (with an automatic truncation to T179) followed by a grid-to-grid interpolation from the F90 grid to 1.0/1.0.

Default Behaviour.

Direct transformation from T1279 to 1.0/1.0, with an automatic truncation to T213 according to EMOSLIB's truncation table

GreenRESOL=AV, GRID=1.0/1.0Transformation from T1279 to the corresponding intermediate reduced octahedral Gaussian O1280, before going to 1.0/1.0.Direct transformation from T1279 to 1.0/1.0, with no truncation.

RESOL=179,

GRID=F90,

and then

GRID=1.0/1.0

Transformation from T1279 to the F90 full (regular) Gaussian grid (with an automatic truncation to T179) followed by a grid-to-grid interpolation from the F90 grid to 1.0/1.0.Same as in MIR, but a separate MARS request is needed for each of the two steps.
