In this release new parameters have been added which reflect a statistical processing in time of an existing parameter. This is to streamline and unify statistically processed parameters, as well as prevent accidental misuse of the instantaneous paramId for parameters which are statistically processed in time and hence require more metadata in the GRIB message.
The addition of new parameters follows the following structure where possible:


inst

mean

accum

max

min

std

atm

Please note that existing parameters will not fit into this structure, e.g. accumulated water and radiation parameters.
A pre-existing example can be found in, for example, mucape as below:

Due to clashes with current ECMWF operational output, we will delay the addition of the following parameters until further developments have been implemented:

  • 235288; Time-mean total cloud cover (base parameter 228164)
  • 235326; Time-mean total lightning flash density (base parameter 228050)
  • 237287; Time-maximum convective available potential energy (base parameter 59)
  • 237167; Time-maximum 2 metre temperature (base parameter 167, already have generic encoding 201)
  • 237318; Time-maximum 10 metre wind gust (base parameter 228029, already have generic encoding 49)
  • 237321; Time-maximum convective available potential energy shear (base parameter 228044)
  • 237055; Time-maximum total precipitation rate (base parameter 260048, already have generic encoding 228226)
  • 238167; Time-minimum 2 metre temperature (base parameter 167, already have generic encoding 202)
  • 238055; Time-minimum total precipitation rate (base parameter 260048, already have generic encoding 228227)
