Interface GridRecord

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    GempakGridRecord, McIDASGridRecord
    public interface GridRecord
    An interface for one 2D gridded data record (used by GRIB, GEMPAK, McIDAS gridded data). A collection of these records comprise a CDM variable, usually adding time and optionally vertical, and ensemble dimensions.

        Get the first reference time of this GridRecord
        Returns:
        reference time

        Get the valid time for this GridRecord.
        Returns:
        valid time

      • getParameterName

        String getParameterName()
        Get the parameter name
        Returns:
        parameter name

      • getParameterDescription

      • getGridDefRecordId

        String getGridDefRecordId()
        Get the grid def record id
        Returns:
        parameter name

      • getDecimalScale

        int getDecimalScale()
        Get the decimal scale of the values
