CDO

What about this one

cat pval_nocean.dat |  cdo -f nc input,r32x64  pval.nc

Hi Frosi,

the data file is not enough. You need the latitude and longitude referring to your data and you have to create an associated time.

I don't know your lat/lon and time but here is the way to create the netCDF file.

First, create a grid describtion file (e.g. gridfile.txt) for your data which should look like:

gridtype = lonlat
gridsize = 2048
xsize = 32
ysize = 64
xname = lon
xlongname = longitude
xunits = degrees_east
yname = lat
ylongname = latitude
yunits = degrees_north
xfirst = 0.0
xinc = 1.0
yfirst = 0.0
yinc = 1.0

Then set the name of the variable (e.g. mask), define the time dimension and set missing value to 0:

cdo -f nc -setctomiss,0 -settaxis,2000-01-01,00:00:00,1day -setname,mask -input,gridfile.txt pval_nocean.nc < pval_nocean.dat

Thank you so much!
I was able to solve my problem with your help.
I used the code from @Karin because my grid is gaussian - it was easy to change the grid type.
Thank you so much for the hint with the time dimension!
