ECMWF added many 3 new variables starting on October 7, 2003.
ECMWF added many variables, some starting on January 01, 2000 and others on June 27, 2000, and ceased archiving 5 variables. Please see the changes document for more information.

The bad news is that the old subroutines ECMWF provided do NOT decode some of these new grids. You have to obtain the new subroutines provided by ECMWF. Please see our software page to obtain these subroutines and more information about this.

NOTE: Not all variables are archived for the entire period of record. Please see the parameter table for a table describing the valid period for each variable
