  • Data on constant pressure levels (type=pl) are provided at level=100 only.
  • Data on theta levels (type=pt) are provided at level=300 for type=fc and level=265 only for type=an.
  • Data on potential vorticity levels (levtype=pv) are provided at level=1500 only.
  • Data on model levels (levtype=ml) are provided at level=1 only.
  • Parameters accumulated from the start of the forecast have the ecCodes startStep key consistently set to 0 and, consequently, have stepRange=0-24 in GRIB2 compared to stepRange=24, etc, in GRIB1
  • Parameters accumulated from the start of the forecast are not provided at stepRange=0. 
  • Data from ENS forecasts are provided for a single ensemble member only (number=1).

Where to obtain the static sample dataset

  • Users with login access to the ECMWF HPC service can access the data from the directory /ec/vol/mtg2_sample. 
  • Users without login access to the ECMWF HPC or ECS service can download the data from https://data.ecmwf.int/mtg2_sample/.

On both the ECMWF HPC and the web server, the data are organised in a directory structure described in the next section.
