CDO

Hello,

I have a file with multiple grid descriptions. Its preventing me from completing some operations. How can I remove this generic grid? I would like to multiple two files together that use the same grid but i get:

cdo    mul (Abort): Grid size of the input parameters do not match!

And I think the generic grid is the problem. Below is the output from the sinfo command for the two files I would like to multiply together. I have additionally tried to use cdo setgrid to change the grid info to match the other file, but that didn't work either.

Thanks,
Gabe
