Merging files on different vertical layers from CORDEX

Added by Andreas Dobler about 10 years ago

Hi,

I have the two files
zg200_AFR-44_ECMWF-ERAINT_evaluation_r1i1p1_SMHI-RCA4_v1_day_20010101-20051231.nc
zg500_AFR-44_ECMWF-ERAINT_evaluation_r1i1p1_SMHI-RCA4_v1_day_20010101-20051231.nc
from a CORDEX server (e.g., http://esg-dn1.nsc.liu.se/thredds/fileServer/esg_dataroot1/cordexdata/cordex/output/AFR-44/SMHI/ECMWF-ERAINT/evaluation/r1i1p1/SMHI-RCA4/v1/day/zg200/v20130927/zg200_AFR-44_ECMWF-ERAINT_evaluation_r1i1p1_SMHI-RCA4_v1_day_20010101-20051231.nc)

The ncdump header provides me with the following info. So there is some info on the pressure level there. However, it's not in the dimensions.

dimensions:
rlon = 194 ;
rlat = 201 ;
time = UNLIMITED ; // (1826 currently)
bnds = 2 ;
variables:
...
double plev ;
plev:standard_name = "air_pressure" ;
plev:long_name = "pressure" ;
plev:units = "Pa" ;
plev:positive = "down" ;
plev:axis = "Z" ;

float zg200(time, rlat, rlon) ;
zg200:grid_mapping = "rotated_pole" ;
zg200:_FillValue = 1.e+20f ;
zg200:standard_name = "geopotential_height" ;
zg200:long_name = "Geopotential Height" ;
zg200:units = "m" ;
zg200:coordinates = "lon lat plev" ;
zg200:missing_value = 1.e+20f ;
zg200:cell_methods = "time: mean" ;

Does anybody know an easy way to merge the two files together such that there are two pressure levels in the output file?

Or to start with: how can I obtain the plev value with cdo? Everything I tried so far (selname, selvar, etc.) did not work.
Any help & suggestions are highly welcome!

Cordex Data Extractor is a windows desktop software for extracting data from CORDEX NetCDF file. Cordex Data Extractor doesn't need help file because of all processes have been done in behind codes and the user just enters dates, coordinate, and variable name.
