- a table with NCEP data: GRIB sample (only one message and one parameter), encoding explained (not only parameter we need to have all the significant descriptions including the geography)
- A table with what we aim to have from the partners. Description in words, GRIB2 coding (not only parameter also all other relevant coding details), possibly an example of grib for each parameter
- A common description of the grid we are going to ask the users. We said that this is going to be a global domain. I think we also need a bitmap.
After talking with Jean Bidlot we concluded that what we are asking our contributors for in GRIB2 language is :
...
parameter | Discipline | Category | parameter | Grid | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | U-component of wind ( 10 m ) | 0 [ M products ] | 2 [ Momentum ] | 2 | . regular lat-long grid . grid spacing free for the contributor to chose . not need to be global . bitmap ? | ||
2 | V-component of wind ( 10 m ) | 0 [ M products ] | 2 [ Momentum ] | 3 | |||
3 | Significant height of combined | 10 [ O products ] | 0 [ Waves ] | 3 | |||
4 | Peak wave period | 10 [ O products ] | 0 [ Waves ] | 34 | Mean wave period based on the second moment of the frequency spectrum | ||
5 | Mean zero-crossing wave period | 10 [ O products ] | 0 [ Waves ] | 28 | |||
6 | Direction of combined wind | 10 [ O products ] | 0 [ Waves ] | 14 | Mean wave direction |
