G2IDS
G2IDS is a list of integers that are encoded into the GRIB2
Identification Section ( Section 1 ) that identifies the source and
type of data packed in the GRIB2 message:
Orig center ; sub-center ; master tables vers ; local tables ver ;
Significance of reference time ; status of data ; type of data
The Originating Center id can be found in WMO Common Code Table C-1.
The default is 7 = "NCEP".
The sub-center is defined by the originating center.
The current WMO master table version number is 2.
Local table version numbers are defined by the originating center.
The significance of the referece time is defined in GRIB2 Code Table 1.2:
0 = Analysis
1 = Start of forecast (default)
2 = Verifying time of forecast
3 = Observation time
255 = Missing
The production status of data is defined in GRIB2 Code Table 1.3:
0 = Operational products (default)
1 = Operational test products
2 = Research products
3 = Re-analysis products
255 = Missing
The type of data is defined in GRIB2 Code Table 1.4:
0 = Analysis products
1 = Forecast products (default)
2 = Analysis and forecast products
3 = Control forecast products
4 = Perturbed forecast products
5 = Control and perturbed forecast products
6 = Processed satellite observations
7 = Processed radar observations
255 = Missing
