@Deprecated public class TLcdGRIBModelDescriptor extends TLcdRasterModelDescriptor implements ILcdModelDescriptor, ILcdGRIBConstants
Deprecated.
The NetCDF decoder should be used to decode GRIB data.
Model descriptor for GRIB models.

TLcdGRIBModelDescriptor contains the values of D, R, E to calculate the original value of a parameter with the formula:

Y * 10D = R + (X*2E)

where

  • Y = original or unpacked value;
  • D = decimal scale factor;
  • R = reference value;
  • X = internal value;
  • E = binary scalefactor;
It also contains methods to calculate original values out of internal values, and vice versa (getActualValue, getInternalValue).

It also contains methods to get the IDs of many features of the GRIB file (e.g. the parameter, the unit of the parameter, the level, originating center, date, grid...). There are some methods that return the meaning of those IDs in a String (getLevel, getGeneratingProcessOrModel, getParameter). For others IDs, the meaning can be found in the tables of the GRIB specification.

There are methods that return the value of the level or layer (getLevelValue, getLayerBottomValue, getLayerTopValue) and the unit for that value (getLevelValueUnit).
