Reduced to regular grid conversion without cgribex

Added by Pierre-Antoine Bretonnière almost 10 years ago

Hi,

I can see in the official documentation that, to convert files from reduced to regular grid, it is mandatory to compile CDO with cgribex when using the -R option.
As gribex has been replaced by grib_api and is no longer maintained, I was wondering if cgribex would still be and if there was a way to convert the files only with grib_api.

Thank you,
Best regards,

Pierre-Antoine Bretonnière

Hi Pierre-Antoine,

The transformation from reduced to regular grid with the CDO option -R is only available for GRIB1 in combination with cgribex.
A more general solution to convert files from reduced to regular grid is the CDO operator setgridtype with the parameter regular:

cdo setgridtype,regular ifile ofile
This works for GRIB1 and GRIB2 with and without cgribex.

Cheers,
Uwe
