Hello,
I am using ECMWF IFS operational forecast data (0.25 degree) from:
Files are named like: 20260425000000-0h-oper-fc.grib2, 20260425000000-3h-oper-fc.grib2 etc.
I am using the following wgrib2 command to convert before running ungrib:
for f in 2026*oper-fc.grib2; do
wgrib2 $f -set_grib_type simple -grib_out simple_$f
done
PROBLEM:
After running ungrib and metgrid with Vtable.ECMWF, the resulting met_em files show:
num_metgrid_levels = 14
NUM_METGRID_SOIL_LEVELS = 0
(no ST000007, SM000007 or SKINTEMP fields)
QUESTIONS:
1) Is there an official recommended Vtable for ECMWF IFS open data (post-2024 format)?
2) Is Vtable.ECMWF_IFS (recently added to WPS) the correct one to use for this dataset?
System info:
WPS version: 4.6.0
WRF version: 4..6.0
Data: ECMWF IFS 0p25 oper, 3-hourly, 0h to 96h
Vtable tested: Vtable.ECMWF (standard)
Thank you for any guidance.
Regards
