Problem in grib file in setting setzaxis and setreftime ?

Hi,
When I am setting my setzaxis and my reference time in my grib file, it is changing my bounds values and depth values as I have shown in
example.

me@ba0b6eadaf2d:~$ cdo sinfon /ankit/tsl2.grb

2005-01-12 12:00:00

Why it is so? When setting my refence time and performing any other operation(like mulc)not shown here on grib file my depth value and my bounds are changed?. Please tell me the solution how to keep the bounds and depth value same with grib file.

Thanks

Hi Jyoti,

I was able to reproduce the problem and it seems to be a problem with GRIB format. After converting the tsl2.grb file to netCDF format everythings works as aspected.

cdo -f nc copy tsl2.grb tsl2.nc

cdo setreftime,2005-01-12,12:00:00,1day -settaxis,2005-01-12,12:00:00,1day -setcalendar,standard tsl2.nc out.nc

cdo sinfon out.nc

   File format : NetCDF2

     1 : unknown  unknown  v instant       4   1     27648   1  F32  : var11

                            depth : 2.5 to 150 
                           bounds : 0-5 to 100-200

Hi
Thanks for the reply.But I want the grib format for the above data, as WRF model which I am using for my research requires grib data for processing .So,can u find out some other solution so that input and output format grib remains the same.

Thanks

Hi Jyoti,

which version are you using? It should work with version 1.9.4 (thanks to Uwe for the info).

Hi
Thanks a lot , I was using 1.9.3 on docker, I will install and check it again.
