Folks, I'm trying to find documentation online that provides guidance on what all the variables are that are in the NCEP model output grib files. There are many NCEP models, so to be clear, I'm referring to the GFS 0.5x0.5 degree product. I was looking at this nice blog:
http://joewheatley.net/ncep-global-forecast-system/ and the files that are available here: ftp://ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod And I see this link: http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/products/gfs/ But looking at a file and the variables: In [112]: ncep.variables.keys() Out[112]: ['PRES_P8_L223_GLL0_avg', 'TOZNE_P0_L200_GLL0', 'PRES_P0_L242_GLL0', 'HGT_P0_L100_GLL0', 'VVEL_P0_L100_GLL0', 'UGRD_P0_L6_GLL0', 'HGT_P0_L7_GLL0', 'CIN_P0_2L108_GLL0', 'ULWRF_P8_L8_GLL0_avg', 'PRES_P0_L109_GLL0', (snip) is somewhat clear in most cases, but is there a table which directly maps these online?. Also, you can of course look at the 'long_name', 'level', and 'level_type' attributes of each variable, but I'm looking more or less for an online table showing all this. Maybe I need to script it quickly ;) Thanks, john ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
