Description#

ECMWF GRIB2 domain plugin.

Reads horizontal and vertical grid metadata from an ECMWF GRIB2 file ({dir}/{file}). The grid layout is determined by the GRIB2 coordinate metadata; vertical levels follow the standard ECMWF hybrid sigma-pressure convention.

Note

This plugin is at an early stage of development. Only a subset of ECMWF GRIB2 grid types has been tested.

Mandatory arguments#
