NCMRWF's in-house development pleased to release UMRider's next operational release v2.0.7 by focusing on NCUM-EPS-TIGGE-TEST mode after making pass by tigge_check tool and converting to single grib2.gz for each members. what is new ? Bugs fixed in tigge and eps production. NCUM-EPS-TIGGE-PROD mode has been completed after making pass by tigge_check tool of each and every grib2 files, converting all vars, all levels, all time steps to single grib2.gz for each members and got acceptance acknowledge from ECMWF-TIGGE team. checkout the changlogs and milestone of v2.0.7 v2.0.7 supports In this version v2.0.7 (since v1.0.2) user will be able to control the following 40 arguments by exporting setup.cfg file into their environment variable called UMRIDER_SETUP. New arguments in this release are highlighted with bold.

User defined variables and ordered will be retained in the out grib2 files (but pressure level variables comes first and followed by non-pressure level variables) User will be able to control would they like to get 1-hourly or 3-hourly or 6-hourly or 24-hourly analysis and/or forecast files. (Note that NCUM model produces every 3-hourly instantaneous/ average/ accumulated data. Depends upon user choice it will be instantaneous or accumulated or averaged properly). Not suitable for IMDAA Reanalysis. This v2.0.7 supports for NCUM EPS TIGGE Production (TIGGE PROD mode) NCUM EPS Average for VSDB Input Production NCUM EPS Global Post Production NCUM Tropical Cyclone Tracker input Production NCUM Regional Model Wind Energy Input Production NCUM Global Solar Energy Input Production NCUM Global Post Production NCUM Indian Region Post Production NCUM Global OSF Model Input Production NCUM Global HYCOM Model Input Production NCUM Global Solar Wind Energy Input Production NCUM VSDB Input Production NCUM IMD MFI Input Production NCUM Global Post Production NCUM INDIA GNC (Grads NetCdf) NCUM HYSPLIT Input Production UM IMDAA Reanalysis Post Production Regards, Arulalan Thanigachalam
