Difference between Regular and Curvilinear grids

Added by Vivek Shilimkar over 9 years ago

Hi,

Most of the CMIP5 data that I'm using has no grid defined in it. One has to set grids and use the data.
I know using CDO how to assign regular grid to data file.
"cdo remapbil,rlon*lat inputfile.nc outputfile.nc"
But every data that I have used has a curvilinear grid saved in it and I don't know how to remap data to curvilinear grid.
What difference would it make in plotting data if I'm remapping data to regular grid while it's saved in Curvilinear?
