fixed problem with equal area Lambert, UK Met fcst, bug report J. Assheton grb2.h old #define GDS_Lambert_Az_Lo1(gds) (uint4(gds+42) _ 0.000001) new #define GDS_Lambert_Az_Lo1(gds) (int4(gds+42) _ 0.000001)

Proj4.c improve error messages

Gctpc.c remove warning_LamAZ .. no limit to warnings to aspherical equal area Lambert

Proj4.c: proj4_get_latlon() remove redundant mallocs

Proj4.c: abs -> fabs

makefile: always install Proj4

wgrib2.h: enable Proj4 as default

wgrib2.c, Config.c: changed priority of geolocation to :gctpc, Proj4, internal

Earth.c: axes_earth(sec, &major, &minor) => axes_earth(sec, &major, &minor, &is_spherical) affects Earth.c Gctpc.c gctpc_ll2xy.c grid_ident.c New_grid.c Proj4.c proj4_initialize.c spaceview.c spaceview2ij.c

Earth.c f_radius, radius now call axes_earth. f_radius output changed

geolocation set: RPN.c (sto_lat, sto_lon), Import_latlon.c read_latlon.c, grid_def.c

f_geolocation(..): added new values to -geolocation (external)

gctpc_get_latlon: new: will not work for aspherical eq area lambert, require proj4

OpenJPEG: #define to $Hdefine in makefile for OpenJPEG, thanks J Stroik

enabled interpolation neighbor-budget for ip2lib_d

added “ncep grid core”, “ncep grid t170” should produce the same results but slightly different northern most Gaussian lat. This version produces the same section 3 as coming from CORe using gcc v4.8.5

makefile: USE_NETCDF4, USE_HDF5DIR changed from 0/1 to 0/compile/system/INC:LIB for using provided netcdf4/hdf5 libraries. Note external libraries are not tested, however netcdf4/hdf5 are not tested because of compile problems. Note clean compile is not the same as a working HDF5 library. contributed by M. Fontana .. thanks

Config.c: changes to show netcdf4/hdf5 libraries

Added JMA pdts .. testing by R. Hanai, thanks Small_grib.c: fix free of non-allocated memory

simple_pk.c: fix for oneAPI, random seg fault with oneAPI but not other compilers Could not see error with original code. Compiler bug?

added -set_ftime_mode: added int ftime_mode, Set_ftime_mode, changed init.c Ftime2.c units.c by request of NBM

removed -set_version_ftime, only way to get ftime1 and set_ftime1 is explictily

v3.1.0 (October 7, 2021)#

unpk_complex.c: better vectorization The next two fixes improve the accuracy of the calculations. Mathematically the same results but by not simplifying the calculation, the optimized version (-march=…) of the code are getting the same results as the non-optimized version. The differences are round-off errors but it is nice to get 0.0 vs 1e-15 (when values are O(1)).

unpk_complex.c: (ref_val+udata[i])*factor -> (ref_val0+udata[i]*factor_2)*factor_10 for more accuracy when -march=znver2

unpk_0.c: (ref+flt[i])*factor -> (ref0+flt[i]*bin_scale)*dec_scale for more accuracy when -march=znver2

wgrib2 was failing in a MPMD program with a write error. Error message did not say name of output file which made debug more difficult. 3 changes to add filename to error meessages.

wgrib2.h: struct seq_file: added char filename[STRING_SIZE], to store filename

rd_seq_file.c fopen_file: save filename in file->filename added filename to error messages

wgrib2.c added filename to error messages

-ens_processing: closed output file on exit, minor cleanup

-ens_qc: new option faster than -ens_processing for ens mean and spread. Mean and spread defined if N > 0. For -ens_processing, mean and spread are defined only if N = numnber of ensemble members.

fix -unix_time: bad glib fails for UTC and daylight savings time reset $TZ not working, year 2038 problem (overflow of 32-bit ints) use get_unixtime(..) from the netcdf package

get_unixtime(..): moved from Netcdf_sup.c to get_unixtime.c, used by -netcdf and -unix_time

makefile: remove DISABLE_TIMEZONE because -unix_time is now C89 (ansi C) which is the minimum specs for the required C compiler - best_scaled_value(..) fixed for exponent overfloa numbers> 10^127 and 10^-126 added checks for integer overflow : i = floor(val + 0.5) hasn’t been a problem because best_scaled_value(..) is used for vertical levels, and levels don’t have extreme values - -set_lev: problem if abs(numerical value of level) is > 2e9, problem or 2e7 mb didn’t handle byte <-> signed bytes correctly int8.c: added int1_char(..), int -> signed byte added scaled_char(..), (factor, value) -> p[0..4] (level) cleanup flt2scaled(..), best_scaled_value(..) fixed: set_lev(..), parse_level1(..) Int_Power(..): converted int to unsigned int, so avoid a future compiler message cleanup of fixed_surfaces(..)

-set_prob: cleanup, new use scaled_char(..)

added -set aerosol_size, -set aerosol_wavelength

-set_ftime2: support 2@1 hour min(13-14 hour acc fcst)++ and 2@1 hour min(13-14 hour acc fcst)–

set_ftime2: error if n >= N_MAX (complexity)

-ens: fixed ECMWF ensemble files, if code table 4.7 is undefined, set to 0 or 3, Manfred Schwarb

-number_of_coordinate_values_after_template: added, support on Code_Values.c

updated stat_proc_verf_time_location(unsigned char **sec)

new pdt_len(..) replaces check_pdt_size(..)

check_pdt_size: remove calculation of expected pdt size, now calls pdt_len(..)

-hybrid: uses pdt_len(..) instead of prod_def_temp_size(sec);

-Sec4: calculation for free is wrong, change format to size and expected size use pdt_len(..) instead of prod_def_temp_size(sec)

f_spectral_bands_extname(..) spectral_bands(..) removed prod_def_temp_size(..) replaced by size of pdt (vs calculated size of pdt)

-set_pdt: cleaned up code, save vertical coordinates, replaced smallest_pdt_len(..) by pdt_len(..) bug fixes

CodeTable.c: added code_table_4_16, more support for pdt 31, 32, 33,34, 35 added number_of_contributing_spectral_bands(sec) and location

-import_netcdf: new hypercube arg: * can be used for start-N:count-N, cleanup prints out hypercube data if npnts != ndata, include standard time

makefile changes for netcdf4: thanks David Ryglicki,

-set_radius: better help

-ftime2: remove code to check initial pdt size, do outside

-set_pdt: allow optional parmeters pdt:len:nc=1:n=1, new_pdt(…,char *misc_arg)

-set_date: understands unix time -set_date u(integer)

-level: new: 57-58 generalized vertical height coordinate (150)

-set_level: new: 57-58 generalized vertical height coordinate (150)

-set_ftime2: change pdt 0->8 (old: -set_pdt +8:len new: -set_pdt +8:n=X) saves vert_cord data)

updated: zlib 1.2.11 -> 1.2.12, libpng 1.2.57 -> 1.2.59, netcdf-c-4.8.1.tar.gz, hdf5-1.12.1.tar.gz

-prob: unknown code table 4.9: old: “probtype=255 :” new: “prob ?? (code table 4.9=255)” bug: sprintf(inv_out,”probtype=%d “) is missing inv_out += strlen(inv_out)

-set_ens_num: changed code to use new_pdt(..), promotes more pdts

size_all(..): tried parallelize .. slower because work per threads was too small handle size of sections to 2G.

complex_grib_out(..): error if ndef < packing mode

changed -new_grid_wind -> -new_grid_winds New_grid.c fprintf(stderr,..) and Changes, M Schwarb

openmp_util.c: use reduction(max:) and reduction(min:) to reduce size of code (requires openmp v3.1)

v3.0.2 (March 1, 2021)#

-ndates, -ndate, -ndates_fmt: changed from misc option to setup option,

-ndates_fmt: better description

updated -ndates: write to inv_file rather than *inv_out to avoid buffer overflows

fixed tar_all script to tarball one copy of each file, problem with BSD-varient tar - Reset_delayed_error.c: no output to inv_out - dec_png_clone(): Sec 5 octet 20 needs to match bit_depth from png decode. A mismatch means that the grib file is not right. With A mismatch, old wgrib2 will produce the wrong grid values for a png decode. Now check for mismatch, and produce a delayed fatal error (with correct decode) - old png decode only handled bit depths of 8, 16, 24 and 32 correctly. Other bit_depths would produce a silent error and give invalid grid values. - update png decode to handle valid png bit_depths, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 32. - dec_png_clone: change char *cout -> unsigned char *cout, added grib2_bit_depth - unpk.c: change char *c to unsigned char *c, added grib2_bit_depth to call to dec_png_clone() - wgrib2.c add DELAYED_ERROR_MISC, error must be explained in message to stdout - removed one of many warnings when compiling gctpc fixed EOF.c comparison

gctpc: explicityly defined sign(x) to be int. sign(x) -> int gctpc_sign(double x)

makefile: changed lib/ to ${lib}

makefile: added ${mod} for location of fortran mods. Keep ${mod} == ${lib}

updated ncep grib table on 6/4/2021

Data.c f_stats(): code clean up, used reduction clauses (part of OpenMP 3.1)

int_min_max(): used reduction clause to cleanup code

Note: stat() is used, defined in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001. (POSIX-1)

added DISABLE_STAT, stat(..) is posix, used to test for pipes and disk files if stat(..) does not exist, set DISABLE_STAT=1 in grib2/makefile this results in flush_mode=1, and files are assumed to disk files i.e. could try to random access or rewind on a pipe updated ffopen.c, rd_seq_grib.c and grib2/makefile

remove unused code: delta_delta(), delta()

gauss2lat(): parallelized code

updated: -names description fixed closest(): when staggered grid and latlon or spaceview added gaussian2ij.c, updated closest(), closest_init() note: for lon=90 and lon=-90, old code could give arbitray longitudes which is valid note: for lat=0, could give either +/- lat which is valid

cleanup lat2ij.c, add public domain notice

-names: now understand NCEP, ECMWF, DWD (old: only ncep, ecmwf, dwd)

-config: if default WMO names was DWD, would display ECMWF.

Sec3.c orographic -> orthographic spelling (Earl Baker)

SPBRT spelling of temperature (Earl Baker)

Spectral_bands.c: remove misleading indentation, some minor cleanup

proj4_initialize.c: added projection->radius_major = r_maj initialization (from M. Schwarb, thanks) note: code does not use projection->radius_major, so no change in the code behavior

Config.c: replace DWD by DWD1

grib2/makefile: new: allow USE_NAME=DWD, old: USE_NAME=DWD1

update: codetable_4_230.c (from M. Schwarb, thanks)

v3.0.1 (February 24, 2021)#

removed because wrong file went to ftp.cpc.noaa.gov

-netcdf doesn’t output unique variable names for href file using -set_ext_name 1 helps but some fields need ftime info to uniquely identify the fields. So changed getExtName(), changed int use_ext_name -> unsigned int type_ext_name.

change getExtName() to same parameters as getName(). The replacement delim and space are now “global” variables and characters.
