The symbols are used as code names in the netCDF files, in the WMS map layers, and in the graph database

Key to version:

• V0 = April 2011
• V0.5 = Dec-Jan 2011
• V1 = Oct 2012

Code names marked in italics refer to products which are not yet published through the Carbones web application. They will be published in V0.5.

Allowed combinations

Some combinations are not valid for some variables and therefore are banned in the maps and the graphs. The rules are different for maps and graphs: that is to say, for gridded values and for spatially aggregated values.

• "B" means both maps and graphs.
• "M" means maps only.
• "G" means graphs only.
