GRIB section 1 definition
Transmission of Products
 
 

Dissemination products include the ECMWF local GRIB extensions so that Member States can differentiate between the forecast products by examining the stream number in the GRIB header. The 06 UTC and 18 UTC based forecasts have STREAM number set to 1026, whereas the 12 UTC and 00 UTC based forecasts have the number 1025.

 

By convention, ECMWF always uses octet 41 to define which set of local definitions follow. The set of local definitions for Short Cutoff Daily Archive fields:
