generic grid of GISS model data

Added by Klemens Barfus almost 9 years ago

Dear all,

I have 6h model data of the GISS GCM and want to interpolate a) interpolate data on a certain point and b) aggregate them to daily values. The first error I encounter is that the model has a generic grid, that is not supported by CDO. So I tried to modify the grid by the attached grid file using

cdo setgrid,mygrid infile.nc outfile.nc

There is no error message but e.g. cdo sellonlatbox does not work and still reports 'generic gridtype'.
The output of 'cdo sinfo' is attached, too.

What can I do to get a grid that is valid for CDOs ?

Many thanks for your help in advance !

Dear all,

the problem is solved: I thought the problem with the grid is due to the horizontal grid, but I found that it is due to the vertical hybrid sigma pressure level coordinate system. The clue is the conversion explained here http://www.meteo.unican.es/wiki/cordexwrf/SoftwareTools/CmorPreprocessor and mentioned by Prasanth here https://code.zmaw.de/boards/1/topics/3436 . Then everything works fine.

Cheers,

Klemens
