Dear All,
since yesterday June 12th at 12Z NCEP implemented the new version GFS.v15.1.1. Since then our operational forecast crashed. We run WPSV3.9.1 and metgrid.exe stops with:
We download GFS from https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/ and we use the 0.5º gfs.t12z.pgrb2.0p50.f0* files. Ungrib works fine for the new and old version of GFS with the same Vtable and it seems there are no surface variables missing. But metgrid only works with GFS files prior to 12Z 12 of june. So this error has to be due to changes in the version of GFS.
The first thing we noticed (apart from the new URL) was the change in the number of registries. We checked also the grib2 codes Discp, Catgy, Param of the Vtable and they are the same in the new version of GFS files. Don't know if this is true for the level type code. The documents NCEP published yesterday and also last week do not inform about changes in format or grib2 codes.
I imagine there will be other persons who experienced this problem today and in my case it is quite urgent to find a solution.
I appreciate any response from whom has the same problem and managed to fix it or somebody from NCEP who could reveal us the changes they made.
many thanks,
Thorsten
