This routine packs up Sections 4 through 7 for a given field and adds them to a GRIB2
message. They are Product Definition Section, Data Representation Section, Bit-Map Section
and Data Section, respectively.
This routine is used with routines g2_create(), g2_addlocal(), g2_addgrid(), and
g2_gribend() to create a complete GRIB2 message. g2_create() must be called first to
initialize a new GRIB2 message. Also, routine g2_addgrid() must be called after
g2_create() and before this routine to add the appropriate grid description to the GRIB2
message. Also, a call to g2_gribend() is required to complete GRIB2 message after all
fields have been added.

g2int g2_getfld (unsigned char * cgrib, g2int ifldnum, g2int unpack, g2int expand, gribfield
** gfld)
This subroutine returns all the metadata, template values, Bit-map (if applicable), and
the unpacked data for a given data field. All of the information returned is stored in a
gribfield structure, which is defined in file grib2.h. Users of this routine will need to
include grib2.h in their source code that calls this routine.
Since there can be multiple data fields packed into a GRIB2 message, the calling routine
indicates which field is being requested with the ifldnum argument.

Note
Struct gribfield is allocated by this routine and it also contains pointers to many
arrays of data that were allocated during decoding. Users are encouraged to free up
this memory, when it is no longer needed, by an explicit call to routine g2_free.
EXAMPLE:
#include "grib2.h"
gribfield *gfld;
ret=g2_getfld(cgrib,1,1,1,&gfld);
...
g2_free(gfld);
Routine g2_info can be used to first determine how many data fields exist in a given GRIB
message.
Note
It may not always be possible to expand a bit-mapped data field. If a pre-defined bit-
map is used and not included in the GRIB2 message itself, this routine would not have
the necessary information to expand the data. In this case, gfld->expanded would would
be set to 0 (false), regardless of the value of input argument expand.

void misspack (g2float * fld, g2int ndpts, g2int idrsnum, g2int * idrstmpl, unsigned char *
cpack, g2int * lcpack)
This subroutine packs up a data field using a complex packing algorithm as defined in the
GRIB2 documention. It supports GRIB2 complex packing templates with or without spatial
differences (i.e. DRTs 5.2 and 5.3). It also fills in GRIB2 Data Representation Template
5.2 or 5.3 with the appropriate values. This version assumes that Missing Value Management
is being used and that 1 or 2 missing values appear in the data.
Parameters
fld Contains the data values to pack
ndpts The number of data values in array fld
idrsnum Data Representation Template number 5.N Must equal 2 or 3.
idrstmpl Contains the array of values for Data Representation Template 5.2 or 5.3.
• 0 Reference value - ignored on input, set by misspack routine.
• 1 Binary Scale Factor - used on input.
• 2 Decimal Scale Factor- used on input.
• 6 Missing value management.
• 7 Primary missing value.
• 8 Secondary missing value.
• 16 Order of Spatial Differencing (1 or 2).
cpack The packed data field (character*1 array).
lcpack length of packed field cpack.

int pack_gp (integer * kfildo, integer * ic, integer * nxy, integer * is523, integer * minpk,
integer * inc, integer * missp, integer * misss, integer * jmin, integer * jmax, integer *
lbit, integer * nov, integer * ndg, integer * lx, integer * ibit, integer * jbit, integer
* kbit, integer * novref, integer * lbitref, integer * ier)
Determines groups of variable size, but at least of size minpk, the associated max (jmax(
)) and min (jmin( )), the number of bits necessary to hold the values in each group (lbit(
)), the number of values in each group (nov( )), the number of bits necessary to pack the
jmin( ) values (ibit), the number of bits necessary to pack the lbit( ) values (jbit), and
the number of bits necessary to pack the nov( ) values (kbit). The routine is designed to
determine the groups such that a small number of bits is necessary to pack the data
without excessive computations. If all values in the group are zero, the number of bits to
use in packing is defined as zero when there can be no missing values; when there can be
missing values, the number of bits must be at least 1 to have the capability to recognize
the missing value. However, if all values in a group are missing, the number of bits
needed is 0, and the unpacker recognizes this. All variables are integer. Even though the
groups are initially of size minpk or larger, an adjustment between two groups (the
lookback procedure) may make a group smaller than minpk. The control on group size is that
the sum of the sizes of the two consecutive groups, each of size minpk or larger, is not
decreased. When determining the number of bits necessary for packing, the largest value
that can be accommodated in, say, mbits, is 2**mbits-1; this largest value (and the next
smallest value) is reserved for the missing value indicator (only) when is523 ne 0. If the
dimension ndg is not large enough to hold all the groups, the local value of minpk is
increased by 50 percent. This is repeated until ndg will suffice. A diagnostic is printed
whenever this happens, which should be very rarely. If it happens often, ndg in subroutine
pack should be increased and a corresponding increase in subroutine unpack made.
Considerable code is provided so that no more checking for missing values within loops is
done than necessary; the added efficiency of this is relatively minor, but does no harm.
For grib2, the reference value for the length of groups in nov( ) and for the number of
bits necessary to pack group values are determined, and subtracted before jbit and kbit
are determined.
When 1 or more groups are large compared to the others, the width of all groups must be as
large as the largest. A subroutine reduce breaks up large groups into 2 or more to reduce
total bits required. If reduce should abort, pack_gp will be executed again without the
call to reduce.

DATA SET USE
• kfildo - unit number for output (print) file. (output)
Parameters
kfildo unit number for output (print) file. (input)
ic array to hold data for packing. the values do not have to be positive at this
point, but must be in the range -2**30 to +2**30 (the the value of mallow). these
integer values will be retained exactly through packing and unpacking. (input)
nxy number of values in ic( ). also treated as its dimension. (input)
is523 missing value management 0=data contains no missing values 1=data contains
primary missing values 2=data contains primary and secondary missing values (input)
minpk the minimum size of each group, except possibly the last one. (input)
inc the number of values to add to an already existing group in determining whether or
not to start a new group. ideally, this would be 1, but each time inc values are
attempted, the max and min of the next minpk values must be found. this is 'a loop
within a loop,' and a slightly larger value may give about as good results with
slightly less computational time. if inc is le 0, 1 is used, and a diagnostic is
output. note: it is expected that inc will equal 1. the code uses inc primarily in the
loops starting at statement 180. if inc were 1, there would not need to be loops as
such. however, kinc (the local value of inc) is set ge 1 when near the end of the data
to forestall a very small group at the end. (input)
missp when missing points can be present in the data, they will have the value missp
or misss. missp is the primary missing value and misss is the secondary missing value
. these must not be values that would occur with subtracting the minimum (reference)
value or scaling. for example, missp = 0 would not be advisable. (input)
misss secondary missing value indicator (see missp). (input)
jmin the minimum of each group (j=1,lx). (output)
jmax the maximum of each group (j=1,lx). this is not really needed, but since the max
of each group must be found, saving it here is cheap in case the user wants it.
(output)
lbit the number of bits necessary to pack each group (j=1,lx). it is assumed the
minimum of each group will be removed before packing, and the values to pack will,
therefore, all be positive. however, ic( ) does not necessarily contain all positive
values. if the overall minimum has been removed (the usual case), then ic( ) will
contain only positive values. (output)
nov the number of values in each group (j=1,lx). (output)
ndg the dimension of jmin, jmax, lbit, and nov. (input)
lx the number of groups determined. (output)
ibit the number of bits necessary to pack the jmin(j) values, j=1,lx. (output)
jbit the number of bits necessary to pack the lbit(j) values, j=1,lx. (output)
kbit the number of bits necessary to pack the nov(j) values, j=1,lx. (output)
novref reference value for nov( ). (output)
lbitref reference value for lbit( ). (output)
ier Error code
• 0 No error.
• 706 value will not pack in 30 bits--fatal
• 714 error in reduce--non-fatal
• 715 ngp not large enough in reduce--non-fatal
• 716 minpk inceased--non-fatal
• 717 inc set
• 1--non-fatal
• alternate return when ier ne 0 and fatal error.
Returns
0 - check ier for error code.
INTERNAL VARIABLES
cfeed = contains the character representation
of a printer form feed.
ifeed = contains the integer value of a printer
form feed.
kinc = working copy of inc. may be modified.
mina = minimum value in group a.
maxa = maximum value in group a.
nenda = the place in ic( ) where group a ends.
kstart = the place in ic( ) where group a starts.
ibita = number of bits needed to hold values in group a.
minb = minimum value in group b.
maxb = maximum value in group b.
nendb = the place in ic( ) where group b ends.
ibitb = number of bits needed to hold values in group b.
minc = minimum value in group c.
maxc = maximum value in group c.
ktotal = count of number of values in ic( ) processed.
nount = number of values added to group a.
lmiss = 0 when is523 = 0. when packing into a
specific number of bits, say mbits,
the maximum value that can be handled is
2**mbits-1. when is523 = 1, indicating
primary missing values, this maximum value
is reserved to hold the primary missing value
indicator and lmiss = 1. when is523 = 2,
the value just below the maximum (i.e.,
2**mbits-2) is reserved to hold the secondary
missing value indicator and lmiss = 2.
lminpk = local value of minpk. this will be adjusted
upward whenever ndg is not large enough to hold
all the groups.
mallow = the largest allowable value for packing.
mislla = set to 1 when all values in group a are missing.
this is used to distinguish between a real
minimum when all values are not missing
and a minimum that has been set to zero when
all values are missing. 0 otherwise.
note that this does not distinguish between
primary and secondary missings when secondary
missings are present. this means that
lbit( ) will not be zero with the resulting
compression efficiency when secondary missings
are present. also note that a check has been
made earlier to determine that secondary
missings are really there.
misllb = set to 1 when all values in group b are missing.
this is used to distinguish between a real
minimum when all values are not missing
and a minimum that has been set to zero when
all values are missing. 0 otherwise.
misllc = performs the same function for group c that
mislla and misllb do for groups b and c,
respectively.
ibxx2(j) = an array that when this routine is first entered
is set to 2**j, j=0,30. ibxx2(30) = 2**30, which
is the largest value packable, because 2**31
is larger than the integer word size.
ifirst = set by data statement to 0. changed to 1 on
first
entry when ibxx2( ) is filled.
minak = keeps track of the location in ic( ) where the
minimum value in group a is located.
maxak = does the same as minak, except for the maximum.
minbk = the same as minak for group b.
maxbk = the same as maxak for group b.
minck = the same as minak for group c.
maxck = the same as maxak for group c.
adda = keeps track whether or not an attempt to add
points to group a was made. if so, then adda
keeps from trying to put one back into b.
(logical)
ibitbs = keeps current value if ibitb so that loop
ending at 166 doesn't have to start at
ibitb = 0 every time.
misslx(j) = mallow except when a group is all one value (and
lbit(j) = 0) and that value is missing. in
that case, misslx(j) is missp or misss. this
gets inserted into jmin(j) later as the
missing indicator; it can't be put in until
the end, because jmin( ) is used to calculate
the maximum number of bits (ibits) needed to
pack jmin( ).
