Time interpolation for gridded binary file

Added by mithil shah almost 12 years ago

HI,
I am trying to interpolate the grib2 binary files (.bin) using CDO.
I tried
cdo sinfo wspd.bin and i got this error
Error (gribapiGetGrid) : Unsupported grid type: lcc.

Next i converted the grib file to NC.
after conversion, here is the sinfo on the converted nc wind file

Warning (cdfSetVar) : Inconsistent variable definition for longitude!
Warning (cdfSetVar) : Inconsistent variable definition for latitude!
   File format: netCDF
    -1 : Institut Source   Param       Time Typ  Grid Size Num  Levels Num
     1 : unknown  unknown  -1          var  F32    739297   1       1   1
   Horizontal grids :
     1 : curvilinear  > size      : dim = 739297  nx = 1073  ny = 689
                        longitude : min = -130.103439  max = -60.8855591  degrees_east
                        latitude  : min = 20.1919994  max = 52.8076706  degrees_north
                        available : xvals yvals
   Vertical grids :
     1 : surface                  : 0
   Time axis :  1 step
     RefTime =  2012-04-30 03:00:00  Units = hours  Calendar = STANDARD
  YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss  YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss  YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss  YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
  2012-04-30 06:00:00
cdo sinfo: Processed 1 variable over 1 timestep. ( 0.11s )

I then tried to interpolate using
cdo -f nc -inttime,2012-04-30,6:00:00,1hour WindSpd_04300600.nc WindSpd_043006001.nc

and here is the resut

Warning (cdfSetVar) : Inconsistent variable definition for longitude!
Warning (cdfSetVar) : Inconsistent variable definition for latitude!
cdo inttime: Processed 739297 values from 1 variable over 1 timestep. ( 0.17s )

However the resulting file does not contain the wind variable.
here's sinfo on the output file from time interpolation

 -1 : Institut Source   Param       Time Typ  Grid Size Num  Levels Num
     1 : unknown  unknown  -1          con  F32    739297   1       1   1
     2 : unknown  unknown  -2          con  F32    739297   1       1   1
   Horizontal grids :
     1 : generic      > size      : dim = 739297  nx = 1073  ny = 689
   Vertical grids :
     1 : surface                  : 0
cdo sinfo: Processed 2 variables. ( 0.00s )

Any ideas on how i can accomplish the interpolation?

The Time interpolation issue is resolved. A small error on my part.
However, the question about how to read grib2 binary files (NOAA) still remains.
