<p> Used for storing ocean model data in GRIB code. A separate
version of code table 2 is used for ocean data: ECMWF local Code Table
2, Version Number <a href="/publications/manuals/libraries/tables/localTable150.html">150</a> or <a
href="/publications/manuals/libraries/tables/localTable151.html">151</a> for FM92-VIII. </p>
<p> All coordinates in this local use GRIB definition are given
as 4-byte INTEGERs in the following units: </p>
<ul>
<li>Latitudes and longitudes: microdegrees </li>
<li>Distance (general): metres (default: can be changed) </li>
<li>Time: seconds (default: can be changed) </li>
<li>Depth below sea level: millimetres (positive downwards) </li>
<li>Isopycnic level: potential density - 1000*106.
<ul>
<li> Permitted range of values is approximately: </li>
<li> -2.147*10 9 &lt; i &lt; 2.147*109 </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p> At several points in the definition, there may be a need for
a variable amount of supplementary data. This is indicated with '(+<em>info</em>)',
and in such cases a supplementary data block is specified at the end of
the local use section. </p>

<h3> Position definition.</h3>
<p> A 2-dimensional field located in 4-dimensional space-time
needs 2 coordinates to define where the field is located, and 2
coordinates internal to the field. The locating coordinates are
specified first. Each coordinate is identified according to the
following table, in this order where possible: </p>
<li>1 = t </li>
<li>2 = z </li>
<li>3 = x </li>
<li>4 = y
<h3> Mixed coordinates</h3>
It is possible to specify mixed coordinates, to allow sections at
angles to the coordinate system.

An inclusive average discards land points when calculating the average,
and will produce a value where there is at least one valid ocean point.
An exclusive average will only produce a value if all of the points
being averaged are valid. </p>

<p> If the post-auxiliary array is not being used, E1 (the
value in KSEC1 after the end of the previously defined part of KSEC1)
must be explicitly set to zero when coding or else errors may result. </p>

<h3> Comments on setting other GRIB parameters.</h3>
The time and time-range data should be set in the main section, if
possible.
<p> The indicator of type of level should be set to 160 (depth
below sea level) for all oceanographic data. The depth in metres should
be set to the appropriate value if the field is a horizontal section,
and to zero in all other cases. </p>
<p> It is assumed that the grid description section of the GRIB
code corresponds to a latitude/longitude grid, with correct values for
the number of points along parallels/meridians, and the coordinates of
the first and last data points are in millidegrees (or the appropriate
units from this section, divided by 1000). </p>
<p> The coordinate increments should be given to the extent
that the field is regular.
