CDO

Hello all,

I have CCSM4 model output for SSTs written in generic grid. The header regarding the SST (tos for the ccsm4 model) includes the coordinates attribute and looks like this"

float tos(time, j, i) ;
tos:standard_name = "sea_surface_temperature" ;
tos:long_name = "Sea Surface Temperature" ;
tos:comment = "TEMP at topmost level, units from C to K\r, CMIP5_table_comment: \"this may differ from \"\"surface temperature\"\" in regions of sea ice.\"" ;
tos:units = "K" ;
tos:original_name = "TEMP" ;
tos:original_units = "degC" ;
tos:history = "2012-02-06T03:00:10Z altered by CMOR: Converted units from \'degC\' to \'K\'. 2012-02-06T03:00:10Z altered by CMOR: replaced missing value flag (9.96921e+36) with standard missing value (1e+20)." ;
tos:cell_methods = "time: mean (interval: 30 days)" ;
tos:cell_measures = "area: areacello" ;
tos:missing_value = 1.e+20f ;
tos:_FillValue = 1.e+20f ;
tos:associated_files = "baseURL: http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/CMIP5/dataLocation gridspecFile: gridspec_ocean_fx_CCSM4_historical_r0i0p0.nc areacello: areacello_fx_CCSM4_historical_r0i0p0.nc" ;
tos:coordinates = "lat lon" ;

I want to remap the file in latlon grid but I get the famous error cdo remapbil (Abort): Unsupported generic coordinates (Variable: tos)!

Anyone can help?
I attach the file's full header and the target grid.

Thanks a lot,
Maria
