MARS/Dissemination
Specifies the packing method used in the target GRIB messages.
packing=<value> |
|---|
Valid values for latitude/longitude output are simple packing (simple), second order (so) or, for GRIB2 gridded fields, CCSDS (ccsds). Valid values for spectral fields are complex packing (co) or simple packing (simple).
The default packing types for gridded data
| Input Field | Output packing type (with keyword grid=... ) |
|---|---|
| GRIB1 Gridded | inherited from input |
| GRIB1 SH | simple |
| GRIB2 Gridded | inherited from input |
| GRIB2 SH | ccsds |
To preserve the packing of the archived data one would specify archived value (packing = av).
