Notes

• This release provides support for octahedral reduced Gaussian grids
• This release requires grib_api/1.14.2
• Tested against BUFR tables version 000406, please check also changes of the previous version 000405

• Changes to HIRLAM functions interface, CHARACTER*1 HTYPE as new argument as follows:

  • HIRLAM(L12PNT,OLDFLD,KOUNT,KGAUSS,HTYPE,AREA,POLE,GRID,NEWFLD,KSIZE,NLON,NLAT)
  • HIRLSM(L12PNT,OLDFLD,KOUNT,KGAUSS,HTYPE,AREA,POLE,GRID,NEWFLD,KSIZE,NLON,NLAT)
  • HIRLAMW(L12PNT,OLDFLDU,OLDFLDV,KOUNT,KGAUSS,HTYPE,AREA,POLE,GRID,NEWFLDU,NEWFLDV,KSIZE,NLON,NLAT)
• HTYPE should be one of:
  • 'R' for "quasi-regular" reduced Gaussian grid (equivalent to 'N')
  • 'O' for octahedral reduced Gaussian grid, or
  • 'F' for regular Gaussian grid
  • 'U' for a user-defined gaussian grid
• New HSH2GG function, controlling SH interpolation to Gaussian grids, replaces:
  • HSP2GG
  • HSP2GG2
  • HSP2GG3
• New INTOUT parameter name CHARACTER*(*) HPARN "gridname", interpreting parameter value CHARACTER*(*) CHARV, describing a list of supported grids as in Gaussian Grids supported by MARS and ProdGen. This is the available method to set interpolation to octahedral reduced Gaussian grids.

• Build system:

  • conditional compilation of components (interpolation, GRIBEX and BUFR)

  • revision of definitions and code reusing, stricter compilation options

• FFTW is an optional Fast Fourier Transform library dependency, required for SH to octahedral reduced Gaussian grid interpolations
• Improved interpolation testing
• Added new HIRLAM LSM masks for specific reduced Gaussian grids:
  • N64, N96, N512, N128
  • O64, O80, O96, O128, O160, O200, O256, O320, O400, O512, O640, O1024, O1280
• When using INTF2  (e.g. via MARS),  GRIB "latitudeOfLastGridPoint" for wave model interpolations in some cases was encoded wrongly to -79.0xx and is now corrected to be -90+0.5*inc (see )

Improvement

• - add support for new octahedral reduced gaussian grid - MARS and Metview
• - add support for new octahedral reduced gaussian grid (as output)
• - support RGG/octahedral grids (non-rotated)
• - support RGG/octahedral grids (HIRLAM)
• - support RGG/octahedral grids (LSM-dependant parameters)
• - support gridname keyword
• - add sh to octahedral interpolation
• - tested interpolation on N64 grid
• - tested against BUFR tables version 000406

Bug Fixes

• - bufr_filter fails with PGI 14.4 on opensuse131

• - bufr_demo was removed (obsolete)

• - build fix for emoslib on powerpc (partial fix: consistent types and declarations)

• - fortint error in EMOSLIB (fix: consistent types and declarations)

• - memory fault using FFTW

• - incorrect information in pkg-config files
