The table also change the units of the field as in a probabilty forecast. You may encounter products that have identical metadata except for this table (analysis vs analysis error). In the default wgrib2 inventory, values of Code Table 4.3 which are not probabiity forecasts, analysis errors or forecast errors are noted.
