MPE data

Hans,


To decode the grib MPE data referenced below, I need grib parameters;

Discipline Category Parameter Number
3 1 98
3 1 99

I couldn't find the Grib 2 table on the web so I wrote a message to EMCWF 
for the parameters. ECMWF returned a grib parameter table but I 
couldn't find the needed parameters. The wmo or NCEP don't have these 
parameters in their tables either. Do you know the definition of theses
parameters, official name and units.

Thanks,
Robb...

WMO and NCEP tables have:

Product Discipline 3: Space products, Parameter Category 1: Quantitative 
products
Number Parameter Units
0 Estimated precipitation kg m-2
1 Instantaneous rain rate kg m-2 s-1
2 Cloud top height m
3 Cloud top height quality indicator Code table 4.219
4 Estimated u component of wind m s-1
5 Estimated v component of wind m s-1
6 Number of pixels used Numeric
7 Solar zenith angle Degree
8 Relative azimuth angle Degree
9 Reflectance in 0.6 micron channel %
10 Reflectance in 0.8 micron channel %
11 Reflectance in 1.6 micron channel %
12 Reflectance in 3.9 micron channel %
13 Atmospheric divergence s-1
