transformation: from gridpoint to fourier coefficient

Added by Qiyun Ma over 2 years ago

Hi,

I met one question in transformation of one field from gridpoint to fourier coefficient:
cdo gp2fc ROS_1231-04.nc tt_t

In the original file (ROS_1231-04.nc), it has 51200 grid points.
However, after transformation, grids have been reduced to 34240.
I attached the files.

Does anybody know what's wrong with this? Or how can we keep the same resolution?

Best,
Qiyun

tt_t (17.9 MB) tt_t after gp2fc

hi!

when going from a grid space into a frequency space I would never expect the same grid size. I even doubt that the term grid is appropriate for this.

For proper check of the coefficient, you might check the reverse transformation with fc2gp
