Fields resulting from a MARS compute request are by default coded with 24 bits per value. To set the accuracy of the result field to that of the first field used in the formula, accuracy=av can be specified.

Examples:

Dissemination

Specifies the number of bits per value used in the target GRIB messages.

...

The default accuracy is specific for each parameter and in general not identical to those for fields archive in in MARS. The accuracy of fields in a grib file can be found using the ecCode ecCodes command:

grib_ls -P bitsPerValue <grib_file>

To get the archived accuracy for ci in dissemination:

disseminate,
type = fc,
stream = oper,
levtype = sfc,
param = ci,
time = 0000,
step = 3,
accuracy=av
