wgrib2: -set_ensm_derived_fcst

Introduction: set ensemble mean derived forecast

The -set_ensm_derived_fcst option changes Product Definition Template (PDT) 0,1,2 -> 2 or 8,11,12 -> 12. PDT 2, and 12 are for "ensemble mean derived forecasts". Effectively this options describes the forecast as being derived from an ensemble of forecasts. The types derived forecasts is listed in code table 4.7. The "cluster" derived forecast should not be used with this option as PDT 2 and 12 do not have metadata to describe the cluster that was used.

Usage

-set_ensm_derived_fcst X Y
X = code table 4.7
Y = 0..255  number of forecasts in the ensemble

Example

$ wwgrib2 sst.grb2  -set_ensm_derived_fcst 1 10 -grib newsst.grb
1:0:d=1981110100:TMP:surface:0-1 month ave anl:wt ens-mean

-set_ensm_derived_fcst 1 10
    1 = weighted mean of all members (code table 4.7)
   10 = number of ensemble members
