Changing generic coordinates to lat-lon using another file or description.

Added by Luis Ramirez about 6 years ago

I need help with the aforementioned problem. (english is not my first language, sorry)

I'm working with a file named lai.nc, the coordinates on this file are in generic form because of this i can't use remapbil to change it to the ones i need it.

Below is the sinfon from lai.nc:

 File format : NetCDF4
    -1 : Institut Source   T Steptype Levels Num    Points Num Dtype : Parameter                                                                                                                                                                                                name
     1 : unknown  unknown  v instant       1   1    124416   1  F64  : lai                                                                                                                                                                                                     
   Grid coordinates :
     1 : generic                  : points=124416 (288x432)
   Vertical coordinates :
     1 : surface                  : levels=1
   Time coordinate :  60 steps
     RefTime =  1989-01-01 00:00:00  Units = days  Calendar = standard

I appreciate every help possible.

Regards.

Hi Luis,

I'm not able to unpack your lai.rar file. Please, upload the lai.nc file instead.

OK, got it myself.

Your file shows that the coordinate variables describing the grid are missing, it contains only time and the variable lai. Without the coordinate variables it is not possible to remap the data.

ncdump -h lai.nc

netcdf lai {
dimensions:
    x = 288 ;
    y = 432 ;
    time = UNLIMITED ; // (60 currently)
variables:
    double time(time) ;
        time:standard_name = "time" ;
        time:units = "days since 1989-01-01 00:00:00" ;
        time:calendar = "standard" ;
    double lai(time, y, x) ;
        lai:long_name = "LAI from Modis" ;
        lai:_FillValue = -9999. ;
        lai:missing_value = -9999. ;

// global attributes:
        :CDI = "Climate Data Interface version 1.6.4 (http://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdi)" ;
        :Conventions = "CF-1.4" ;
        :history = "Wed Nov 12 20:43:43 2014: cdo -monavg lai.daily.nc lai.nc" ;
        :Production = "2014/11/12" ;
        :CDO = "Climate Data Operators version 1.6.4 (http://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo)" ;
}
