Project Management Service

• Add experimental interface to FDB5
• Add global option CDI_Threadsafe to lock non thread-safe netCDF4/HDF5 calls

• improve support for time units second [Bug #11740]
• calc_chunk_cache_size: wrong result for 3D data (bug fix)
• netCDF: write of y-coordinates failed for Gaussian reduced grids (bug fix)

New features:

• Add GRIB2 HEALPix support (available with eccodes-2.32.0)
• Add support for NetCDF attribute type NC_INT64
• Add interface function streamInqNumSteps() to inquire number of time steps
• gribapi decode: add support for single precision float interface (available since ecCodes-2.30.0)
• grib2: add read only support for alternativeRowScanning
• grib2: add support for earth radius specified by data producer

Fixed bugs:

• HIRLAM_EXTENSIONS: set default CDI_KEY_SCANNINGMODE to 64 [Bug #11367]
• gribapiDefGridLCC: store DxInMetres/DyInMetres as double
• NetCDF4: use chunkSize only if it is less than gridsize
• cdfDefineAttributes: check filetype for unsigned int attributes
• time information missing if the stream contains fields constant in time only

New features:

• Add option --shuffle: Specify shuffling of variable data bytes before compression (NetCDF)
• packed NetCDF arrays are stored unpacked for all operators which modify the data
• DCW regions: add support for states (e.g. dcw:USAK for Alaska)
• expr: added function gridindex() (grid cell indices)
• expr: add function cdoy() (day of year) and cdpy() (days per year)

New operators:

• gridcellindex: Get grid cell index from lon/lat point
• timfillmiss: Temporal filling of missing values
• vertfillmiss: Vertical filling of missing values
• Add module Ymoncomp - Multi-year monthly comparison (operators: ymoneq ymonne ymonle ymonlt ymonge ymongt)

Changed operators:

• remapscon: obsolete operator, use remapcon instead
• remapcon2: rename to remapscon2
• gencon2: rename to genscon2

Fixed bugs:

• expr: internal functions with two constant arguments failed in release 2.2.1

• remapping failed in release 2.2.0, if the data contains different masks
• Module Ymonarith: failed with more than one variable in release 2.2.0
• median: add support for missing values
• Ymonstat: set default timestat date to LAST

Dear users,

there will be a maintenance of this site, starting on Tuesday 2023-07-25 at about 6:00pm CEST. The starting time may be delayed a bit (roughly up to one hour). We expect the this service to be available again after a downtime of roughly 2 - 4 hours but the downtime could last longer.
