New parameters in Code Table 4.2 #286

Open sebvi opened 2 weeks ago

sebvi commented 2 weeks ago

Initial request

The parameter “Live fuel moisture content” (discipline=2, parameter category=4, parameter number =31) can be subdivided into a component for low and high vegetation. We propose to add these two additional entries.

The Obukhov Length (L) is a well-established parameter in boundary layer meteorology. We propose to add the reciprocal Obukhov length (1/L) because L can be infinite in certain cases of neutral stability.

ECMWF is also requesting a set of ocean parameters needed for our latest development so that more of the ocean output portfolio can be made available in GRIB. Note that due to the organisation of the oceanography discipline, we need to request the same parameter in 3 different categories.
