Warning

The following MARS retrieval is provided only  as an example of the sort of change that users will need to make once the data are provided in GRIB2.   

There is no need to re-specify the param keyword in the second and third retrieve blocks as it will be inherited from the first retrieve block.  It is included here only to illustrate the changes needed.

The timespan keyword is also needed for parameters accumulated from the start of the forecast, such as precipitation or and radiation parameters .  For such parameters, set timespan=fs for "from startaccumulated from start of forecast",  e.g:
