CDO

Hello all

Im currently having some issues correctly converting GRIB files to NetCDF, especially regarding the conversion of the parameter ID from the GRIB files (I am aware that NetCDF has no parameter ID's).

Im attempting to convert using the following command, followed by the dump to see if it worked:

cdo -f nc copy ML20010101_00.grb2 ML20010101_00.nc
ncdump -h ML20010101_00.nc

however not all variables have been correctly recognized, the last 3 parameters only show as param214.1.0 - param216.1.0

netcdf ML20010101_00 {
dimensions:
        lon = 360 ;
        lat = 181 ;
        height = 1 ;
        height_2 = 1 ;
        time = UNLIMITED ; // (1 currently)
variables:
        double lon(lon) ;
                lon:standard_name = "longitude" ;
                lon:long_name = "longitude" ;
                lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
                lon:axis = "X" ;

.... // cut for convenience

        float clct(time, lat, lon) ;
                clct:long_name = "Total Cloud Cover" ;
                clct:units = "%" ;
                clct:param = "1.6.0" ;
        float param214.1.0(time, lat, lon) ;
        float param215.1.0(time, lat, lon) ;
        float param216.1.0(time, lat, lon) ;

// global attributes:
                :CDI = "Climate Data Interface version 1.6.8 (http://mpimet.mpg.de/cdi)" ;
                :Conventions = "CF-1.4" ;
                :history = "Thu Sep 17 21:15:57 2015: cdo -f nc copy ML20010101_00.grb2 ML20010101_00.nc" ;
                :institution = "Deutscher Wetterdienst" ;
                :CDO = "Climate Data Operators version 1.6.8 (http://mpimet.mpg.de/cdo)" ;
}

I attempted to add the -t ecmwf option, and I also attempted to create my own Parameter table (gribtab) as follows according to the wiki: https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo/embedded/index.html#x1-300001.6

1.3.0    PMSL      Sea-level Pressure [Pa]
11.0.0   ACCSHFL_S Surface sensible heat ux mean since model start [J m**-2]
10.0.0   ACCLHFL_S Surface latent heat ux mean since model start [J m**-2]
5.5.0    ACCTHB_S  Surface net thermal radiation mean since model start [J m**-2]
5.5.0    ACCTHB_T  TOA net thermal radiation mean since model start [J m**-2]
9.4.0    ACCSOB_S  Surface net solar radiation mean since model start [J m**-2]
9.4.0    ACCSOB_T  TOA net solar radiation mean since model start [J m**-2]
7.4.0    DSWRF     Top down solar radiation mean since model start [J m**-2]
2.2.0    U_10M     U component of wind [m s**-1]
3.2.0    V_10M     V component of wind [m s**-1]
0.0.0    T_2M      Temperature [K]
52.1.0   TOT_PREC  Total Precipitation [kg m**-2]
77.1.0   RAIN_GSP  Large scale rain rate (s) [kg m**-2 s**-1] 
76.1.0   RAIN_CON  Convective rain rate (s) [kg m**-2 s**-1]
56.1.0   SNOW_GSP  Large-Scale snowfall rate water equivalent (s) [kg m**-2 s**-1]
55.1.0   SNOW_CON  Convective Snowfall rate water equivalent (s) [kg m**-2 s**-1]
0.0.0    T_G       Weighted surface temperature [K]
1.6.0    CLCT      Total cloud cover [%]
214.1.0  TQV_DIA   Total Specific humidity (diagnostic) [Kg/Kg]
215.1.0  TQC_DIA   Total Specific cloud water content (diagnostic) [Kg/Kg]
216.1.0  TQI_DIA   Total Specific cloud ice content (diagnostic) [Kg/Kg]

However no matter what I enter, CDO simply doesn't want to use my definitions of the parameter ID's and used the default ones as showed above...
These were the commands I tried:

cdo -t gribtab2 -f nc copy ML20010101_00.grb2 ML20010101_00.nc
# I also attempted the following:
cdo -f nc copy -setpartab,gribtab ML20010101_00.grb2 ML20010101_00.nc

Anybody knows where the error in my code is?
