reproduce griddescription / remapping issue
Added by Andreas Hilboll over 11 years ago
Hi,
I have an issue reproducing a grid definition "by hand". My situation is as follows:
I have a dataset of CTM output. An example file can be found at http://www.iup.uni-bremen.de/~hilboll/_cdogrid-original.nc.
Using my own Python scripts, I do some calculations with the data (calculate vertical densities from concentration profiles) and write the output again to a NC file. An example can be found at http://www.iup.uni-bremen.de/~hilboll/_cdogrid-reproduced.nc. I'm using python-netcdf4 for this, but this should be irrelevant. I'm trying to reproduce the header information as closely as possible:

However, the grid descriptions do not match:

I'm at a loss here. The problem is that in a next step, i want to use remapcon2, and currently, this produces nan-filled files from my data:
$ cat IUP/data/bolchem/griddef_povalley.txt
gridtype = lonlat
xsize = 336
ysize = 64
xfirst = 6.03125
xinc = 0.0625
yfirst = 43.03125
yinc = 0.0625

Sorry for the noise, but the problem is solved. The input files were corrupt in the sense that they contained wrong rotated-pole coordinates :-/
Cheers, Andreas.
