The December 2023 release of our software provides many new features, improvements and fixes! Note that the packages below are part of a much larger software stack used at ECMWF, and this is part of a release that is synchronised between all these packages.
ecCodes
ecCodes, the heart of GRIB and BUFR handling, brings several new features, improvements and fixes in version 2.33.0:
- Latest WMO GRIB/BUFR tables
- GRIB2: Generalised tile templates
- GRIB2: CARRA monthly/daily products
- GRIB2: New/updated parameters
- Miscellaneous bug fixes
- See the release notes for full details
Please note some important changes in this release of ecCodes:
- The key "levtype" is now read-only (for GRIB edition 2). Please use "typeOfLevel" to set fixed surface types
- The key "validityTime" now has 4 characters as a string (like dataTime). This affects the output of "grib_ls -n time"
Metview
Metview 5.21.0 brings some nice improvements to the GRIB and BUFR examiners - see the release notes!
A new tab in Metview's GRIB Examiner shows the 'pl' array for reduced Gaussian grids
A new tab in Metview's GRIB Examiner shows the 'pv' array and level details for model level data
A new context menu in Metview's GRIB and BUFR Examiners allows key names and values to be copied to the clipboard
The software versions of this release are available on ECMWF's HPC as part of the module called ecmwf-toolbox (version 2023.12.0.0) and all are included in the The Metview Source Bundle. Versions on conda and brew should be available in the coming days. If you encounter any issues please feel free to use the ECMWF Support Portal.
