Metadata inconsistency betweene cfgrib/xarray and pygrib

I am not sure if it’s a cfgrib issue or xarray issue but I will start off here and then move it to xarray if it’s not a cfgrib issue.

I am trying to read one of these files - https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/cfs/prod/cfs/cfs.20210426/00/6hrly_grib_01/ - let’s assume I want to read this file - -
flxf2021042600.01.2021042600.grb2 and this is the code I have

` import xarray as xr

ds = xr.open_dataset(‘./flxf2021042600.01.2021042600.grb2’,engine=‘cfgrib’,backend_kwargs={‘errors’: ‘ignore’,‘filter_by_keys’: {‘typeOfLevel’: ‘heightAboveGround’}})`

When I print out the value of ds I encounter two issues

1. I am looking for these three variables - UGRD:10 m above ground:anl:, VGRD:10 m above ground:anl: and TMP:2 m above ground:anl: as indicated in the indx file - https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/cfs/prod/cfs/cfs.20210426/00/6hrly_grib_01/flxf2021042600.01.2021042600.grb2.idx

I only obtain what it appears to be ugrd and vgrd. Even here it prints out it as u10 and v10. Are u10 and v10 the same as UGRD and VGRD ?

1. I am unable to obtain TMP completely. When I try to do the same with pygrib I obtain all 3 completely.

Where am I going wrong ?

@alexamici I eventually had to go with this

ds1 = xr.open_dataset('./flxf2021042100.01.2021042100.grb2',engine='cfgrib',backend_kwargs={'errors': 'ignore','filter_by_keys': {'shortName': '2t'}})

@winash12 cfgrib can’t access variables at 10m at the same time of variables at 2m. You may try filtering by short name 'filter_by_keys': {'shortName': 't2m'}}.
