observing -32767 values after remaping

Added by Idris Wada over 3 years ago

Good day,

I used the remabil function to regrid a 90th percentile temp file derived from ERA5 temperature data from its native resolution to 0.5,1, and 2.5 degrees resolution and I noticed the -32767 values on some specific lon/lat throughout the time-series. Is this a bug or an error from my side? the version of my cdo is 1.9.4. I used the code remapbil,0.5grid.txt for the 0.5 degrees. I used this area sellonlatbox,4.4,12.08,8.34,12.7 to create the template.nc file for the remap. attached is my 90thtemp file, and the 3 .txt files and a sample of the error I observed.
thank you for you time.

Hi Idris,

its not a bug. The value -32767 is the _FillValue (missing value) of the variable t2m.

The minimum latitude is 9.5 while the grid descriptor files start already at minimum latitude 8.5 respectively 8.75. Exactly for this reason you get missing values when you do remap.
