- Download the current version of Panoply from http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/panoply/
- Open grib2 file in Panoply
- In the column Name you can find the parameters available in the grib2 file
These parameter names should be configured in IdMap.xml
Property "Use_Grib2_Parameter_Name" to read parameter names from attribute Grib2_Parameter_Name
By default Grib2 import uses variable full name as parameter name. Variable full names are generated by Netcdf library.
Sometimes, in case of accumulated series, NetCdf generates different variable full names per time stamp, for example “Total_precipitation_surface_17_Hour_Accumulation”, “Total_precipitation_surface_23_Hour_Accumulation”, “Total_precipitation_surface_39_Hour_Accumulation” and so on. However, all these variables are associated with the same series.
In this case use property "Use_Grib2_Parameter_Name" to read parameter name from the attribute Grib2_Parameter_Name which contains simple(base) parameter name, for example “Total precipitation” (see the picture below)
Configuration example from TimeSeriesImport.xml file:
<properties>
<bool key="Use_Grib2_Parameter_Name" value="true"/>
</properties>
