MARS

Specifies a geographical domain for which the data has been produced.

domain=<value>

In most of the cases, it refers to the Globe (G), i.e. the whole Earth. Domain is not a manipulation keyword. Depending on the product, domain has different meanings:

• For Cluster and Tube products, domain specifies the area over which the cluster computation is carried out. The following values are valid: 

  value	meaning
  E	General European Area
  A	North West Europe
  B	North East Europe
  C	South West Europe
  D	South East Europe
  H	European Area (70° N, 20° W, 30° N, 40° E)

  
  

• For Wave data, domain represents the geographical domain for which the data was produced. The following values are valid:

  value	meaning
  G	Globe
  M	Mediterranean

  Please note that now only domain = G is valid, HRES-SAW (also known as Mediterranean model) is no longer produced.
  
  Example to specify 2-D wave spectra from the ERA-15 Mediterranean model:
  
  

  retrieve, class=er, date=1979-01-01, domain=m, expver=1, param=250.140, stream=wave, time=12:00:00, type=an, target="output"

  
  

Dissemination

Specifies a geographical domain for which the data has been produced.

• For Wave data, domain represents the geographical domain for which the data was produced. The following values are valid:

  G	Globe

  It is a legacy: now only domain = G is valid, HRES-SAW (also known as Mediterranean model) is no longer produced.
