CDO select on files with differing variable numbers

Added by Gabe Bromley almost 4 years ago

Hello!

18 of my 365 files are lacking a few variables (I enabled those variables after the first model restart). I am trying to select a few variables out of all the files and create a new file from them. How can I get around this? The error I got was:

cdo select (Abort): Input streams have different number of variables per timestep!

Is there any way to ignore these variables? They are not the ones I am interested in anyway. Otherwise, is there a work around? Would I have to select the variables out of the 18 days and then combine the file with the variables from the remaining 347 days?

Thanks!

Gabe

hi Gabe!

this is a perfect use-case for the apply function:

cdo -select,name=P -apply,selname,P [ s1.nc s0.nc ] out.nc
Here both input files have different variables:
$cdo showname s1.nc
 P T
$cdo showname s0.nc
 P
