CDO

Hi,

I'm starting a new message for this. I'm new to cdo and at first thought I was having a problem with merge.

when I use ml2plx I get the following message

Warning (cgribexScanTimestep1) : Inconsistent verification time (param=129 level=0)
cdo ml2plx (Warning): Orography (surf. geopotential) not found - using zero orography!

cdo ml2plx (Abort): Temperature not found, needed to compute geopotheight!

I thought I had the variables I needed in the input file.
cdo -t echam5 pardes temp5.grb

I'm not sure why ml2plx is not able to fine the surf. geopotential? And I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

Any help will be appreciated and if you need anymore information or a file please let me know.

Thanks
