Extract values for station coordinates
Added by Jonas Müller over 5 years ago
Hello,
I am currently working with model data of the German weather service, which are available in .grb format.
I have already converted these into .nc files with the CDO package in Ubuntu.
Now I wanted to know if there is a possibility to extract the values for certain station coordinates from this model data with the CDO package?
Thanks in advance

hi Jonas!
Since the grid is not part of the data, you have to download it separately from https://opendata.dwd.de/weather/lib/cdo/.
check which grid is needed with
cdo sinfolike this:
% cdo sinfov icon_global_icosahedral_single-level_2019100612_018_U_10M.grib2
File format : GRIB2
-1 : Institut Source T Steptype Levels Num Points Num Dtype : Parameter name
1 : DWD unknown v instant 1 1 2949120 1 P16 : 10u

grid : number=26 position=1
uuid : a27b8de6-18c4-11e4-820a-b5b098c6a5c0
Vertical coordinates :
1 : height : levels=1
height : 10 m

CDO prints a grid number (26) and a UUID. Download the correct one and attach it to the data within your CDO call:
% cdo sinfov -sellonlatbox,0,10,-10,10 -setgrid,icon_grid_0026_R03B07_G.nc icon_global_icosahedral_single-level_2019100612_018_U_10M.grib2

cdo(1) sellonlatbox: Processed 2949120 values from 1 variable.
cdo sinfon: Processed 1 variable [0.74s 950MB].
for the selection of a special location I recommend using remapnn or what ever interpolation you like:
cdo infov -remapnn,lon=-22.2_lat=54.9 -setgrid,icon_grid_0026_R03B07_G.nc icon_global_icosahedral_single-level_2019100612_018_U_10M.grib2

Hi Ralf!
I cant upload my data cause its to big but i can give u the download link (https://opendata.dwd.de/climate_environment/REA/COSMO_REA6/hourly/2D/CLCT/) - CLCT.2D.200901.grb
When I get the command "cdo sinfo CLCT.2D.200901.grb" I get the following output:

cdo sinfo: Processed 1 variable over 744 timesteps [0.78s 38MB]
If I'm not mistaken, there's already a grid here.
So now i want to select the data for following coordinates:
latitude= 53.0316; longitude= 13.9907
So what do i have to do now?
Sorry, but i am a complete beginner at ubuntu and cdo.
Thanks in advance.

hi!
latitude range is from -23.403 to 21.862, so there will be no point with lat=53.0316 I think.
If it was there your would use
cdo remapnn,lon=13.9907_lat=53.0316 <ifile> <ofile>and get the values at the nearest cell of the grid.
