CDO

Hello,

I'm trying to convert a WRF output netcdf file to Grib 2 using the following command:

cdo -f grb2 copy wrfout_d01_2023-07-07_06:00:00_post2.nc wrfout_d01_2023-07-07_06:00:00_post2.grb2

I have used a NCL script called netcdf_to_cf to destagger the grid of any variables requiring it.

I'm getting some variable name errors from ecCodes as below and I was wondering if anyone can help me fix it?

Many thanks in advance.

Andrew
