cdo mergetime problem
Added by SUMAN MAITY over 6 years ago
Dear All
This is Suman Maity from IIT Kharagpur, India. I am facing a problem which is as follows.
I have 10 no. of netcdf files for 10 different year (1990-1999)each of having daily rainfall data for JJAS season (June, July, August and September i.e. for 122 days only). I want to find daily climatology considering those 10 years and anomaly for those.
I have tried to use mergetime to merge all the 10 files into a single file so that ydaymean can be used. But I have seen mergetime merges the files without considering the time stamp of different files. I want to mean at t=123 shows 1st october,1990 in stead of showing 1st, June 1991.
I couldn't understand how to find the daily climatology and anomaly.
Any kind of help will accepted.
Regards
Suman

Hi Suman,
without your data files it is quiet difficult to reproduce the wrong date.
Using my test daily data (10 years: 2040-2049) e.g. starting at 2040-01-01 12:00:00
- create JJAS season data
- merge all 10 years of JJAS data
- compute ydaymean
The following Korn Shell script does these steps and the results are what I expect
#!/bin/ksh
for year in $(seq -w 2040 1 2049)
do
cdo -f nc select,season=JJAS days_${year}.nc days_JJAS_${year}.nc
done
cdo mergetime 'days_JJAS_*.nc' days_JJAS_all_2040_2049.nc
cdo ydaymean days_JJAS_all_2040_2049.nc clim_2040_2049.nc
exit
days_JJAS_all_2040_2049.nc
timestep 1 : 2040-06-01 12:00:00 timestep 1220 : 2049-09-30 12:00:00
clim_2040_2049.nc
timestep 1 : 2049-06-01 12:00:0 timestep 122 : 2049-09-30 12:00:00

Hi
Karin
Thank you very much for your elaborate reply. I will be thankful if you share your test daily data or a sample of it.
Which version of the cdo, you are using?

Dear Karin
Yes you are wright. The output is correctly produced having 4 months in each year. But unfortunately when I am opening the data through grads, it creates problem. I mean t=5 gives next year june, t=6 gives next year july and so on. As I am using grads for figure generation, I don't have any other way to do. Do you have any solution for that?
Please reply.
With Regards
Suman
