( 1) The time and time-range data should be set in the main section, if possible.
( 2) 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.
( 3) 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).
( 4) The coordinate increments should be given to the extent that the field is regular.
