GRIB 1 Section 1 Octets | GRIB 2 Section 4 Octets | eccodes key | Component | Model ID | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Old | New | ||||
6 | 14 | generatingProcessIdentifier | Atmospheric model | 149 | 150 |

Warning |
---|
With the new IFS cycle 46r1, the ecCodes key "localDefinitionNumber" for the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) analyses at 00Z and 12Z will be changed from 17 to 1, both in dissemination and in MARS. With this change, all SST and Sea Ice fields for the analyses and Forecasts will be harmonised. |
...
Extended output have been added in cycle 46r1, including a subset of ocean fields on the atmospheric grid.

Member State users of the "Simple time-critical jobs" framework can test that their scripts will work with the IFS Cycle 46r1 test data by using the limited ECaccess 'events' set up for this purpose:
1633 | e_ms090 | At this stage, the e-suite step 090 (HRES-BC) has been generated. |
1634 | e_ms144 | At this stage, the e-suite step 144 (ENS-BC) has been generated. |
1635 | e_ms240 | At this stage, the e-suite step 240 (HRES) has been generated. |
1636 | e_ms360 | At this stage, the e-suite step 360 (ENS) has been generated. |
1637 | e_mslaw | At this stage, the e-suite step law (HRES-SAW) has been generated. |
1638 | e_ms1104 | At this stage, the e-suite step 1104 (ENS extended) has been generated. |
1639 | e_msrefc | At this stage, the e-suite step refc (REFORECAST) has been updated. |
For these events, MSJ_EXPVER environment variable is set to 0073 and can be used to specify the IFS Cycle 46r1 test data in any MARS retrievals.
