remapbil, Error (cdf_def_dim) : NetCDF: Name contains illegal characters
Added by Vinod kumar almost 4 years ago
Hi, I want to regrid the attached NC file (curvilinear grid) on the target grid (regulat lat-lon) also attached herewith. I am doing
cdo -O remapbil,grid_3km_India.txt MODIS_mean_AOD_h23v05_2020_80_111_cf.nc test.nc
which results in following error message
cdf_def_dim : ncid = 131072 name = lon len = 1023
Error (cdf_def_dim) : NetCDF: Name contains illegal characters
Error (cdf_close) : NetCDF: HDF error
I wonder, why it finds illegal character in on?

There is a blank after the name lon in the grid file grid_3km_India.txt:
xname = lon
^
This confuses the interpreter in very old CDO version like 1.7.0. Remove the blank or update to a more recent CDO release in order to solve this problem.RE: remapbil, Error (cdf_def_dim) : NetCDF: Name contains illegal characters - Added by Vinod kumar almost 4 years ago
Hi Uwe,
Thanks a lot for your kind guidance.
Updating to the newest cdo version fixed the issue.
Best regards,
Vinod
