Regarding Bilinear Interpolation in CDO
Added by Pankaj Narula almost 2 years ago
I have netcdf file of the wind vector (u component) and rainfall netcdf file. Wind data is at gaussian grids whereas rainfall data at from regular grids. I want to interpolate wind data exactly at rainfall grids. I used
cdo remapbil,r360x180 uwnd.10m.gauss.1979.nc uwnd_1979_regular.nc, but grids are not matching with that of the rainfall file in nature (Wind data is global and rainfall data is of India, my point is lat-lon arrangement is different). I am just a beginner at CDO. Please help.

I am not able to edit this post. I am also attaching the original file of u-wind data.

Hi Pankaj,
it is not the same as the rainfall_1979 grid because you remapped it to a 1x1 deg global grid. But the rainfall_1979 has a regional grid.
cdo sinfon rainfall_1979

To remap the data to the rainfall_1979 grid you can use the file as grid description itself.
cdo remapbil,rainfall_1979 uwnd.10m.gauss.1979.nc uwnd_1979_regular_same_grid_as_rainfall_1979.nc
And when you now take a look at the grid you can see it is the same as for rainfall_1979.
