Help with CDO lowpass
Added by Daniel Mendes over 3 years ago
Help with CDO lowpass. Hi! I am unsure about the results I obtained from applying the CDO manual. I need to pass the low-pass filter to see the effects of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation on my data. My rainfall anomaly data is monthly for a 34-year series.
Can someone help me?

hi Daniel again!
how does the result look like? What exactly did you call?

Hi!
What can you suggest to me to solve the problem.
He would be:
cdo lowpass, 1/408 sst.anomaly.nc out.nc?

Well I don't even know, what your threshold frequency should be. How could I suggest you anything reasonable? the related frequeny for a 10-year-peroid is 0.1

Hi! Thank you very much.
How can I know about my maximum frequency. My time in the series is 408 times.I think your answer is correct, as applied 0.1 I suppress all frequencies less than 10 years old.

... or it would be the following: I have 408 months, proportionally, for 34 years. I would like to observe frequencies of 10 years (PDO), therefore: 120 months. Would it be 1/120?

the filters take into account the real time of the time axis. That's why the number of timestamps is not important as long as you have enough for properly doing an frequency analysis at all. Monthly output for a once-every-10-years analysis should be fine. As stated in the documentation frequency notation of these operators is per-year. This means
parameter | Timeperiod/Frequency |
0.5 | every 2 years |
0.2 | every 5 years |
0.1 | every 10 years |
2 | every 6 months |
