Specifies the meteorological parameter of a field.

param=<value>

It is recommended to specify a meteorological parameters by its unique parameter ID, e.g. param=132044, or by a combination of  indicator of parameter and GRIB table 2 version in the form param=indicatorOfParameter.table2Version. Other ways of specifying a parameter are by using their GRIB code (param=130), their short name (param=t) or their full name (param=temperature).

  • MARS Catalogue - Allows to browse the meta data of the entire archive content in real-time
  • Parameters database - lists all parameters (which can be handled by the ECC software) according to their GRIB definition
  • ECMWF datasets - A description of forecasts, analyses, climate re-analyses, reforecasts and multi-model data available from MARS or via dedicated data servers or via point-to-point dissemination

Examples:

                                                                      # specifying the parameter "temperature" by
