CDO

Hi,
I've got an issue to remap my data.

When I use

cdo remapbil,../../../mygrid.txt tos.nc sst.nc

I get the error

cdo remapbil (Abort): Unsupported grid type: generic

But when checking the data (sinfov), I find that there are lon and lat values just as expected, but as a 2nd grid coordinate?

Is it possible to chose the lonlat grid instead of the generic grid?

the lon lat variables are also available in the data

variables:
    float lat(lat) ;
        lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
        lat:long_name = "Latitude" ;
        lat:actual_range = 88.f, -88.f ;
        lat:standard_name = "latitude" ;
        lat:axis = "Y" ;
        lat:coordinate_defines = "center" ;
    float lon(lon) ;
        lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
        lon:long_name = "Longitude" ;
        lon:actual_range = 0.f, 358.f ;
        lon:standard_name = "longitude" ;
        lon:axis = "X" ;
        lon:coordinate_defines = "center" ;
    double time_bnds(time, nbnds) ;
        time_bnds:long_name = "Time Boundaries" ;
    double time(time) ;
        time:units = "days since 1800-1-1 00:00:00" ;
        time:long_name = "Time" ;
        time:delta_t = "0000-01-00 00:00:00" ;
        time:avg_period = "0000-01-00 00:00:00" ;
        time:prev_avg_period = "0000-00-07 00:00:00" ;
        time:standard_name = "time" ;
        time:axis = "T" ;
        time:actual_range = 19723., 78800. ;
    float sst(time, lat, lon) ;
        sst:long_name = "Monthly Means of Sea Surface Temperature" ;
        sst:units = "degC" ;
        sst:var_desc = "Sea Surface Temperature" ;
        sst:level_desc = "Surface" ;
        sst:statistic = "Mean" ;
        sst:missing_value = -9.96921e+36f ;
        sst:actual_range = -1.8f, 33.95f ;
        sst:valid_range = -5.f, 40.f ;
        sst:dataset = "NOAA Extended Reconstructed SST V4" ;
        sst:parent_stat = "Individual Values" ;
        sst:coordinates = "lon lat" ;
