Notes: 

(1) The input process identifier shall have the value of the “analysis or forecast process identifier” of the original GRIB message used as input of the post-processing.

(2) The input originating centre shall have the value of the “originating centre” of the original GRIB message used as input of the post-processing.

(3) This identifies which post-processing technique was used. This is defined by the originating centre.

(4) Hours greater than 65534 will be coded as 65534
