The Eccharts Editor
Info |
---|
All the date parameters used for FLEXPART Prepare is given in YYYYMMDD format. Relative dates are allowed: e.g. -1 means yesterday, 0 means today, etc. |

The Eccharts Editor
Layer
Specifies the name of the Eccharts ecCharts layer.
Style
Specifies the contouring style for the selected layer. Each Eccharts ecCharts layer is associated with a group of predefined styles. When a given layer is selected in Layer the icon editor only shows the available styles for that layer and the default style is automatically selected.
Title
Specifies the type of the title generated for the plot. The possible values are as follows:
- default: the standard Metview automatic title will be used and the resulting list will not contain a Text plotting icon. This is how it looks:
- style_1: the resulting list will contain a Text plotting icon defining a title of a different style. This is how it looks:
The default option is default.
Note |
---|
When overlaying an EcCharts icon with other EcCharts icons or fields always use the default option (otherwise the contouring setting could be applied incorrectly to some of the fields). |
This option was introduced in Metview 5.8.0.
Date
Specifies the run date of the forecast. This is the same Date parameter as in the MARS retrieval icon. The date is given in YYYYMMDD
format. Relative dates are allowed: e.g. -1 means yesterday, 0 means today, etc. The default is -1.
...
Specifies the run time of the forecast. This is the same Date Time parameter as in the MARS retrieval icon. The default is 0.
...
Specifies the forecast steps in hours. Here a list of values is can be given.
Grid
Specifies the resolution of the resulting global grid in dx/dy format, where dx is the grid increment in eastWest-west East direction, while dy is the grid increment in northSouth-south North direction (both in units of degrees). The default value is: 1/1.
...
When this parameter is set to yes an error in the data retrieval or the post-processing steps will force the icon (or the to fail and a Macro/Python script running it) to fail to fail.
Only data on and below this model level will be used to generate the FLEXPART input fields. This level can be specified either as a model level or as a pressure value. In the latter case FLEXPART Prepare will use the data retrieved for the first date to determine the topmost model level. The default value of this parameter is 1, which means that all the model levels will be used if Top Level Units is set to model_levels.
Top Level Units
Specifies the units of the value of Top Level. The allowed values are model_levels or hPa. The default value is model_levels.
Reuse Input
If this parameter is set on FLEXPART Prepare checks the existence of the data files to be generated and if they are already in place no new data is retrieved and processed. If it is off all the fields are always retrieved and processed and the existing data files are overwritten. The same happens to the AVAILABLE file. The existence of a FLEXPART input GRIB file is checked by using the file name and a set of ecCodes keys from the first message in the file. These keys are as follows: date, time, stepRange, gridType, iDirectionIncrement, jDirectionIncrement, latitudeOfFirstGridPoint, latitudeOfLastGridPoint, longitudeOfFirstGridPoint, longitudeOfLastGridPoint.
Output Path
...
the eccharts()
function will fail as well. While if it is set to no the icon will not fail and the eccharts
command in Macro/Python will return nil/None. The default value is yes.
