ECMWF

Datamodel for the tables in the ECMWF schema.

Data is created by the ECMWF and retrieved from the KNMI ftp site as GRIB files. The original GRIB files can also be retrieved from the flysafe server from :

ECMWF Data Archive

More information about the parameters in these GRIB files can be retrieved from the ECMWF website.

INVARIABLE

The INVARIABLE table contains data that is invariant over time.

LATITUDE degrees * 100 to make this a integer
LONGITUDE degrees * 100 to make this a integer
Z 129 Z Geopotential surface/model orography
LSM 172 LSM Land sea mask
LOCATION Latitude/longitude as GIS location

FORECAST

The FORECAST table contains predicted values in steps of 3 hours till 72 hours ahead. The MODELTS is the timestamp for which this prediction applies. Two times a day new Forecast GRIB files will arrive. The newer FORECAST data that arrives for the same timestamp will overwrite the older data.

MODELTS Time for which this forecast applies = model run + step hours
LATITUDE degrees * 100 to make this a integer
LONGITUDE degrees * 100 to make this a integer
STEP model step (smaller is more recent forecast)
SSRD 169 SSRD surface solar radiation downwards accumulated
TP 228 TP total precipitation accumulated
SP 134 SP surface pressure
BLH 159 BLH boundary layer height
TCC 164 TCC total cloud coverage
U10 165 10U 10 meters wind U-component
V10 166 10V 10 meters wind V-component
T2 167 2T 2 metres air temperature
D2 168 2D 2 metres dew point temperature
LCC 186 LCC low cloud coverage
Pressure level 1000
T_1000 130 T temperature
U_1000 131 U U-wind component
V_1000 132 V V-wind component
GH_1000 156 GH geopotential height
R_1000 157 R relative humidity
Pressure level 925
T_925 real 130 T temperature
U_925 real 131 U U-wind component
V_925 real 132 V V-wind component
GH_925 real 156 GH geopotential height
R_925 real 157 R relative humidity
Pressure level 850
T_850 130 T temperature
U_850 real 131 U U-wind component
V_850 real 132 V V-wind component
GH_850 real 156 GH geopotential height
R_850 real 157 R relative humidity
Pressure level 700
T_700 real 130 T temperature
U_700 real 131 U U-wind component
V_700 real 132 V V-wind component
GH_700 real 156 GH geopotential height
R_700 real 157 R relative humidity
