GRIB

Case description

GRIB atmospheric data interpolation cases. Tests the PREP_REAL_CASE tool to interpolate external atmospheric GRIB data (ERA5, GFS, ICON, HRRR, ARPEGFS) to MesoNH initial conditions. Multiple data sources supported.

Specificities

  • Multiple GRIB data sources: ERA5, ERA5_hPa, ARPEGFS (41t1, 43t2, 46t1, 48t1), GFS, HRRR, ICON-EU, ICON-Global, IFS, ARP

  • Python plotting tools for GRIB visualization

  • Vertical interpolation from GRIB levels to model levels

  • Horizontal interpolation to target domain

Validation

  • GRIB field interpolation quality

  • Vertical level conversion

  • Horizontal domain coverage

Numerical ressources

HPC: 1 node, 2 cores (MPI parallel)
