- It was agreed that the pre-existing templates do not have the necessary flexibility to fit SURFEX or other tile models (e.g. at ECMWF).
- We will begin the process of designing a new GRIB template for this purpose. Some requirements of the types of patches (tile subsets) required from the SURFEX perspective can be found in the attached PDF: correspondance-patch-vegtype.pdf
These are the ECOCLIMAP tables and how they map to NPATCH within the SURFEX model.
Action items
