Hi Tanmoyee,

what do you mean with 'increase precision of rainfall values'? Do you want to interpolate the data from a coarse grid to a higher resolution grid?
Than have a look at the documentation about the remap operators.

No sir Idon't want to interpolate.My rainfall values are in float.I want to increase it's precision.Or decimal number by -b 32 or - 64.But how I write it?

To write the output to 64-bit float values which CDO uses internally use the -b option.

-b <nbits>

format               nbits

grb1,grb2            P1-P24

grb2,srv,ext,ieg     F32/F64
cdo -b 64 -copy infile outfile
