ecCodes 2.19 and Snow Depth Parameter (141)

ParameterNumber for Snow Depth (141) is now 254 instead of 11 when encoding in GRIB2 format.

The GRIB edition 2 for 141 encoding

...

was wrong

...

in previous versions of ecCodes: The parameterNumber should be 60, not 11 because 11 is the physical depth not the one converted to water volume.

In older versions, both paramIds 141 and 3066

...

shared the same GRIB2 representation and the consequence of that

...

was 141

...

was obfuscated by 3066 (water converted depth is obfuscated but the true physical depth!)

From ecCodes 2.19 onwards, this parameter uses local GRIB2 encoding in ECMWF local table 1:

No Format
discipline = 0;
parameterCategory = 1;
parameterNumber = 254;
localTablesVersion = 1 ;
