This seems more than reasonable. We'll look at getting this straightened out for our next release. |

Addresses Unidata#853 Grib1_Level_Type and Grib2_Level_Type were not consistent. Grib2_Level_Type was the String description of the level, which is actual the analog of Grib1_Level_Desc. Adds new attribute, Grib2_Level_Desc, and makes Grib2_Level_Type the integer code value, just link Grib1_Level_Type.

For variables in a
NetcdfFileobject that is populated from a GRIB file, they have a Grib Level Type attribute, namedGrib1_Level_TypeandGrib2_Level_Typefor GRIB-1 and GRIB-2 files, respectively.The issue is that the data type of the attribute's value is different.
Grib1_Level_Typeattribute, the value is of an Integer, i.e. the level type code. The corresponding string representation is held by another attributeGrib1_Level_Desc.Grib2_Level_Type, the value is of a String, i.e. the corresponding text for the level type code. The Integer value of the level type is simply NOT available.For our usage purpose, we'd like both attributes to have Integer values. So maybe a possible solution is to store Integer code to
Grib2_Level_Typeand add a newGrib2_Level_Descto store its string form.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
