Please refer to the Milestone note for DE-EDT-5-22.M2 for full details on the usage of the Polytope service to retrieve DestinE data from the archive.For an introduction to accessing data via the Polytope Service, please refer to https://github.com/destination-earth-digital-twins/polytope-examples 

Below are several examples of key-value pairs which would be used as the "request" within the polytope service.

...

Retrieve "Sea ice area fraction" (param 31; grid O8000) and "Sea surface temperature" (param 34; grid O8000) at step 0 (0 hours after run start: 2018-11-01, 00:00:00):

Retrieve "Pressure" (param 54) and "Temperature" (param 130) at all ; grid TCO7999) for the lowest 10 model levels at step 6 (6 hours after run start: 2018-11-01, 06:00:00):

Additional request keywords

Warning
titleRegridding can be used on spectral data only

Please note that the following keywords can be used only on data on the TCO7999 spectral grid. Please see the data catalogue for more information


Other keywords See the milestone note DE-EDT-5-22.M2 for other keywords which can be used to retrieve parameters on the spectral  TCO7999 grid only at a coarsened resolution or for a reduced area. For example:

  • To use a coarsened 1° x 1° lat/long grid, use the keyword:
    • 'grid' : '1.0/1.0'
  • To extract data for a given area, for example Europe, use the keyword:

    • 'area

...

    • ' : '73.5/-27/33/45'
