Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir:
Does the MET support for ECMWF grib data? The grib table of ECMWF are different with NCEP grib data. When i use pcp_combine to convert EC grib file to netcdf format, it could not found the APCP variable. The grib code is 228 for EC grib data. How can i solve this problem?
DO i need to modified the code?
Thanks!
Kefeng

met-5.0 and earlier versions do not include support for the ECMWF
usage of
GRIB. In previous versions of MET, the GRIB tables were harded-coded,
but
the code is now reading them from a flat-file at runtime.
In met-5.0, it's reading it from the installed met-5.0 directory
"share/met/table_files/nceptab_flat.txt".
And in METv4.1, the flat file can be found here:
METv4.1/data/table_files/nceptab_flat.txt
The difference really is just in the GRIB code abbreviations and
units. I
would expect that MET can read ECMWF GRIB1 files, but that
it just uses the wrong names for the variables.
If you'd like to change MET's behavior, you could edit that flat file
to
use whichever abbreviations and units you'd like. The next time
you run the MET tools, it'll just read in the updated strings and use
them.
It would be preferable to support ECMWF GRIB data without putting this
onus
on the user, but we don't currently get any ECMWF data. So it's
difficult
to support.
I hope this helps.
