• Only the agreed parameters should be included (all which will be produced) and only on the defined levels, with the defined frequency etc.
• If the data is already in GRIB2 format it is should be encoded as UERRA test data (productionStatusOfProcessedData=9)
• Each sample dataset should be split for given day only by 
  
  • forecasting system type(deterministic/ensemble)
  • forecast type (analysis/forecast)
  • vertical level (pl/ml/hl/sfc/soil)
  • model run(00/06/12/18UTC)
• Regarding vertical level type follow exactly the defined groups of parameters as defined in the UERRA parameters page.
• Follow this naming convention of the sample files:
  <SYTEM TYPE>.<FORECAST TYPE>.<LEVEL TYPE>.<YYYYMMDDRR>.<GRIB ENCODING>
  where
  
  • SYTEM TYPE = det/ens for deterministic or ensemble system
  • FORECAST TYPE = an/fc
  • LEVEL TYPE = ml/pl/hl/sl/sl for model/pressure/height/surface or soil levels
  • GRIB ENCODING = grib1/grib2 depending on GRIB edition used
  e.g. det.an.sl.1962010106.grib  for surface level analysis parameters (all steps) from deterministic system run on 1.1.1962, 6h.

To track progress of the work on conversion to GRIB2 and test archiving in MARS the following progress report pages have been created and are linked in the column "Progress log" of the top table in the progress status page.
