DRAFT
A new production suite will replace experiment g6ek as provider of GFAS products on 30 April 2018. The major benefit should be a generally improved reliability and timeless of GFAS products. Additionally, these changes will be noticed by users:
- Old dissemination stream MACC_GFAS (linked to experiment version g6ek) will be phase out (see Service change September 2017).
- Experiment g6ek will be eventually stopped and its data might not be archived in mars after 30 April 2018.
- The dissemination stream CAMS_GFAS (linked to experiment version 0001) will contain 4 new files, for additional parameters "Altitude of plume bottom" and "Injection heigh" in grib and NetCDF format:
| filename | param/name | Long Name | units |
|---|---|---|---|
| z_cams_c_ecmf_YYYYMMDD00_gfas_an_sfc_apb.nc | apb | Altitude of plume bottom | m |
| z_cams_c_ecmf_YYYYMMDD00_gfas_an_sfc_apb.grib | 242.210 | Altitude of plume bottom | m |
| z_cams_c_ecmf_YYYYMMDD00_gfas_an_sfc_injh.nc | injh | Injection heigh (from IS4FIRES) | m |
| z_cams_c_ecmf_YYYYMMDD00_gfas_an_sfc_injh.grib | 60.210 | Injection heigh (from IS4FIRES) | m |
- "Injection heigh" parameter (60.210) is only defined for ecCodes package, version 2.7.0. You will need this version of the package to decode a grib file containing this parameter.
- Public dataset cams-gfas web interface will show additional parameters "Altitude of plume bottom" and "Injection heigh".
