Some ECMWF data produced by the IFS is stored in GRIB with gridType=sh to indicate that the values are stored as spherical harmonic coefficients. 

The resolution of such data is identified by the triangular truncation number which specifies the number of coefficients retained in the infinite sum.  This number is stored in GRIB as the pentagonal resolution parameters, J, K and M:
