GRIB.jl
The Gridded Binary (GRIB) format is a format commonly used in meteorology. A GRIB file is a collection of independent records that store 2D data. This package is an interface to the ECMWF ecCodes library. In ecCodes, each GRIB file is composed of a series of messages, and a message is an object with keys and values. Each message has many keys. Some are actually stored in the data, while others are computed by ecCodes on access. Some commonly used keys include:
key | value |
---|---|
name | long name of the quantity |
shortName | standard abbreviation of name |
latitudes | array of latitudes |
longitudes | array of longitudes |
values | array of data values |
units | units of quantity |
date | date in YYYYmmdd format |
typeOfLevel | kind of vertical level |
level | value of vertical level |
