MARS/Dissemination

Specifies the output target grid which can be either a Gaussian or a Latitude/Longitude grid.

...

Not all grid names and grid number combinations are supported. Currently, the Gaussian grid names and numbers supported for MARS retrievals are:

Octahedral reduced Gaussian (O grids)O1280O1024O640O512O400O320O256O200O160O128O96O80O64O48O32
Original reduced Gaussian  (N grids)N1280
 
N1024N640N512N400N320N256N200N160N128N96N80N64N48N32
Regular (Full) Gaussian (F grids)F1280F1024F640F512F400F320F256F200F160F128F96F80F64F48F32


MARS requests specifying an unsupported grid will fail. For example, a retrieval request with grid=O123 will return an error.  If the letter denoting the type of Gaussian grid is omitted, e.g. grid=320, a full (or regular) Gaussian grid with 320 grid lines is returned.

For other keywords controlling the interpolation see the diagram below.

Dissemination

Specifies the format of the dissemination files.

...

format=<value>

Valid formats are:

...

GRIB 1 format, for all non LEVT=ML data

...
