added grib2 table parameter codes according to new ECMWF open data and grib1 geopotential height #222
Conversation
I added grib2 table parameter codes according to https://data.ecmwf.int/forecasts/ dataset in the link. ECMWF made some of the variables open in 0.4 resolution. But unfortunately, it does not cover all the variables required to run WRF but can be mixed with other datasets. I also added the grib1 param code for geopotential height.

@bakamotokatas Is it possible to provide a test dataset to try this Vtable? You can also demonstrate the success by providing an ungrib output log. Thanks. |
also added land-sea mask and 0-7 soil temperature

I've now added the land-sea mask and soil temperature (0-7cm) to Vtable as well. For the grib2 part, I've included the ungrib.log and g2print.exe results in ecmwf_opendata_example_ungriblog_and_g2printout.zip. Since the data is 30MB with bz compression, I couldn't upload it here. You can download it from the link I uploaded: https://filebin.net/ymyd406fxwqhgbql or access the original website at https://data.ecmwf.int/ecpds/home/opendata/${date}/${baserun}z/0p4-beta/oper/ (the file ends with grib2). I've also included the g1print.exe log and ungrib.log for geopotential height in the operational data in ecmwf_grib1_geopotential_height.zip. However, I'm unsure if I'm allowed to share this data. It is the same as the geopotential height value 156 mentioned in this link: https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/datasets/open-data |
added soil height to GRIB1 Param
added new soil values and 2m dewpoint temperature

I think the addition of the grib2 codes are fine and they appear to be correct with the caveat that the EC grib2 files don't contain enough fields to initialize WRF (namely the land surface fields). I don't particularly like having so many grib2 parameter entries blank, but it does indicate which fields are not present in the files. The rrpr code will use HGT when available, otherwise it will compute it using GEOPT. So, the modified Vtable should work with the NCAR/RDA archived files. |

In some of the EC data, the surface fields are in grib1 format. |
