Parameters provided with WMO units
For some parameters, ECMWF has been providing values in units which are not the official WMO units. The static sample dataset also includes examples of the same parameters but with values provided in the official WMO units. These parameters are provided in files identified by the ECMWF paramId and shortName in the file name but with the additional tag "_wmo_units". For example, the total precipitation parameter, which ECMWF has been providing in units of "metres" (m), is also provided in units of kg/m2 in a file named 228_od_oper_fc_sfc_tp_2024_0001_regular_ll_wmo_units.grib2.
