Converting ugrd10m, vgrd10m into ws10m for ensemble grib

Added by Ran Glattstein over 2 years ago

Hi guys,
I'm working on the ECMWF ensemble gribs (can be retrieved using "wget https://ai4edataeuwest.blob.core.windows.net/ecmwf/20220830/0z/0p4-beta/oper/20220830000000-150h-oper-fc.grib2").

I'm intereted in efficiently extracting the forecasted wind speed on 2m level for each member and then averaging it.
The classic cdo commands I use are taking average on all members for the URGD10m, VGRD10m but then it means nothing and WS10m can not be calculated.
I was wondering whether there is a command to create "WS10m" for each member and then continue to normal averaging as usual.

Thank you so much,
Ran.

Hi Ran,

I am not able to download the file:

404 The specified blob does not exist

The problem are the ensembles within the GRIB2 file, but I think I have a solution.

cdo -f grb2 -t ecmwf -sqrt -add \
                           -sqr -selname,10u 20220829000000-48h-enfo-ef.grib2 \
                           -sqr -selname,10v 20220829000000-48h-enfo-ef.grib2 \
                           tmp.grb2

The wind speed variable name can be set to 10si (ECMWF).

grib_set -s shortName=10si tmp.grb2 20220829000000-48h-enfo-ef_10si.grib2

The PNG shows the computed wind speed of the first ensemble member:

But I think we might have a problem here...

ws10m = square_root (ugrd^2 + vgrd^2)
it seems what you are doing is sum(square_root(ugrd)+square_root(vgrd))
Am I right?

Oops,
didn't notice the sqrt at the beginning.
All is good, world is saved :))))
sorry for the mistake

Hi again...

So I've been trying to run the commands, but sadly I'm getting an Error.
It seems like mycdo doesn't find 10u and 10v fields.
When I run

cdo -selname,10u original.grb2 dest_10u.grb2 

I get the following Error:
cdo selname (Warning): Variable name 10u not found!
cdo selname (Abort): No variables selected!

I'm wondering could it be due to the fact that I'm using CDO 1.9.3 ? tried to run apt-get --upgrade but it deosn't find newer versions.
If so I willy try to install manually from downloading the tar file (if you have a script that's installing the tar it would be great).

Thanks again,
Ran.

RE: Converting ugrd10m, vgrd10m into ws10m for ensemble grib - Added by Karin Meier-Fleischer over 2 years ago

No, it is because the variable 10u is not in original.grb2 or you use a wrong parameter table.

You can list the variables in your file with

cdo showvar original.grb2

or get a short info about the content with

cdo sinfon original.grb2

If it is an ECMWF GRIB2 file you can use the '-t ecmwf' option

cdo -t ecmwf -selname,10u original.grb2 dest_10u.grb2

But I can only guess without the file.

Hi, attaching the file. Sorry for that.

It seems like "cdo showvar" only identifies "2t" field, although the file contains many fields (that can be seen when running grib_ls on it)

Do you manage to perform the transformation on the attached file ? maybe my CDO version is the problem?

Thanks

RE: Converting ugrd10m, vgrd10m into ws10m for ensemble grib - Added by Ran Glattstein over 2 years ago

OK I think I see the problem.
It seems like cdo showvar (or selname) can't identify the fields correctly when working on the grib that contains all of the Perturbation Members.
When running the same commands on a specific perturbation grib file (see attached) it does seem to work!

RE: Converting ugrd10m, vgrd10m into ws10m for ensemble grib - Added by Karin Meier-Fleischer over 2 years ago

I guess you have to update CDO because I'm not able to reproduce the problem.
