Regridding to model grid

Hello,

I need to regrid a 2D field (128x64 lonxlat for 12 time steps) to a model grid (180x193 lonxlat), which are both attached to this message.
A example 2D field that is already in the right format, is also attached (INPDUST_mhw.nc).

The model grid is not straightforward as far as I can see, and needs to be put in 'CDO grid' (manual section 1.3.2.4) format first.
I would in the end like to do something like this:

cdo -s remapbil,modelgrid_CDO dust.nc 2D_on_model_grid.nc

I am struggling to make the CDO grid from the information I have:
- Is it indeed curvilinear (when I do sinfon on grid.nc I get generic and when I do it on INPDUST I get curvilinear)?
- Can modelgrid_CDO be a netcdf file? If yes, what is exactly needed for CDO to understand it? I.e. I probably need to rename some variables/dimensions?

Thank you for your help!
Anne

The coordinate units of the input file doesn't follow the NetCDF CF convention. Here is an example to changed it with the NCO operator ncatted:

ncatted -a units,lat,o,c,"degrees_north"  -a units,lon,o,c,"degrees_east" DustFlux_Lambert2015_LGM.nc infile

Then you can use the following command for the interpolation:

cdo remapbil,INPDUST_mhw.nc infile outfile

Thank you very much Uwe, this did the trick!
