Need help regarding mergetime for netcdf files

Added by Ben L over 8 years ago

Hi all, I have been trying to combine multiple netcdf files into a single netcdf file, in order for further processing. The files have same variables, just separated based on times.

I tried to do this merging process on two sample files as attached below

I attempted to use cdo mergetime ionPrf_C002.2015.???.??.??.G??_0001.nc

but it said:

cdo merge (Abort): Wildcards support not compiled in!

---
Failing which, I tried cdo cat ionPrf_C002.2015.204.00.00.G16_0001.nc ionPrf_C002.2015.204.04.13.G30_0001.nc test.nc

but it said:

cdo cat (Abort): Grid size of the input parameters do not match!

-

Could I please have your advice on how I should go about combining multiple netcdf files using cdo? So far I have no success. I need to combine close to 50 of these netcdf files.

Thank you very much

Best regards
Ben

Your input files have different grids:
