Parameters forming part of the Weather and Geophysical Extremes Digital Twin (DT) are investigated here. See the encodings below, which are current for ecCodes 2.33.0.

Currently only the fields in Secn 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 are available on the LUMI databridge as part of the operational ExtremesDT runs.

Please note that additional keys are often necessary in addition to the base parameter definition below. For example for:

statistical processing (e.g. time interval of processing)
level information (e.g. a given pressure level, say 300 hPa)

Any entry with localTablesVersion=1 should not be used in production outside ECMWF.
