CDO

Hi,

I'm currently trying to concatenate several files containing netcdf variables together using the cdo copy or cdo cat commands and it is unfortunately failing with the following error: "Error (cdf_put_vara_double) : NetCDF: Numeric conversion not representable".

I have tried to concatenate the files manually 2 by 2 and some of them fail, and some others work. I have tried using cdo infov on files that work and files that do not, and I can't see any difference between the two. Here is the output of a copy that works (first one) and one that doesn't (second one):

What would cause such an error to happens on one copy operation and not the other with two very similar couple of files?

Thanks for your help
