Are there any plans for CDO to allow unsigned integers with -b?
For example, cdo -b I32U
NetCDF allows unsigned ints (up to 64-bit) for CDF5 or netCDF-4[[https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/data_type.html]]
Thanks,

Unsigned integers are supported up to 32-bit for netCDF 4 and 5 in CDO, use -b U8/U16/U32.
Unfortunately this is not documented yet but it will be in the next release.
There is no plan to support 64-bit ints in CDO.
Cheers,
Uwe
