sign reversal of yinc when remapping with remapbil

Added by Jason Lambert about 1 year ago

Hello

I am trying to regrid a file using remapbil. For a reason that I do not see the yinc variable is always set to the negative of what I expect.
I am 95% sure I am doing something silly but i just can't see it, hence this post.

This is my original grib file grid description.
*jlambert@gribmachine-arm:~$ cdo griddes ocean_grib_dt.grib #
  1. gridID 1 #
    gridtype = lonlat
    gridsize = 744184
    xsize = 959
    ysize = 776
    xname = lon
    xlongname = "longitude"
    xunits = "degrees_east"
    yname = lat
    ylongname = "latitude"
    yunits = "degrees_north"
    xfirst = 100.083
    xinc = 0.083
    yfirst = 0.083
    yinc = 0.083
    scanningMode = 64
    cdo griddes: Processed 2 variables [0.07s 68MB]*
This is my grid description file
*cat overlapped_grid.txt #
  1. gridID 1 #
    gridtype = lonlat
    gridsize = 22801
    xsize = 151
    ysize = 151
    xname = lon
    xlongname = "longitude"
    xunits = "degrees_east"
    yname = lat
    ylongname = "latitude"
    yunits = "degrees_north"
    xfirst = 137.671
    xinc = 0.04
    yfirst = 36.726
    yinc = 0.04
    scanningMode = 64*

However, after running the following the following remapbil command
cdo -remapbil,overlapped_grid.txt ocean_grib_dt.grib ocean_grib_dt_remap.grib

The grib I get has the following grid description. As you can see the yinc is negative of what I expect.

*cdo griddes ocean_grib_dt_remap.grib #
  1. gridID 1 #
    gridtype = lonlat
    gridsize = 22801
    xsize = 151
    ysize = 151
    xname = lon
    xlongname = "longitude"
    xunits = "degrees_east"
    yname = lat
    ylongname = "latitude"
    yunits = "degrees_north"
    xfirst = 137.671
    xinc = 0.04
    yfirst = 36.726
    yinc = -0.04
    scanningMode = 0
    cdo griddes: Processed 2 variables [0.07s 68MB]*

Hi Jason,

can you attach one time step of your grib file?

Kind regards,

Estanislao

Hi Jason,

I have just checked it in cdo 2.0.4. My output shows a positive yinc. May I ask what cdo version you are using?

Curious,

This is the output of cdo --version on my system

This problem probably only occurs if CDO was compiled with HIRLAM-extensions. Here there was a problem with the GRIB scanningMode. The problem was solved in CDO 2.2.2 (Bug #11367).
