Warning

title	Parameter units

Please take care with units. Parameters marked in yellow are those that are typically disseminated in units "(0-1)" or "m" in the ECMWF operational output.

Layer-based fields

The parameters on "levtype=sol", i.e. those produced from layer-based models (such as soil and ice layers), on the O8000 grid are as follows:

paramId	shortName	Name	units	levels
260199	vsw	Volumetric soil moisture	m3 m-3	1,2,3,4
260360	sot	Soil temperature	K	1,2,3,4

Model level fields

The parameters on model levels (1 to 137; with model level 137 representing the lowest height), on the O8000 grid are as follows:
