selecting polygon with sellonlatbox
Added by Becca Rolph about 7 years ago
Hi, I'm trying to select a polygon from my dataset that has a curvilinear grid with cdo sellonlatbox.. I have tried to do two separate operations of cdo sellonlat box, and then merge the files (e.g. merge the two different rectangular domains to make the polygon), but this doesn't seem like a right approach because I have the same timesteps and same variable names , so I get an error for example:
Warning (cdfDefVar) : Changed double entry of variable name 'SEAICE' to 'SEAICE_2'!
Warning (cdfDefVar) : Changed double entry of variable name 'U10' to 'U10_2'!
Any hints are appreciated

Hi!
AFAIK netcdf defines the shortname to be uniq. Hence, you cannot save variables on two different grids with the same shortname. But you can adjust the long_name to be identical.
