CDO remapcon help

Added by Markus Mingel almost 14 years ago

Dear CDO-Users,

I have a trivial problem, but I'm not able to solve it with CDO.

I computed fire emissions on a 0.05° regular grid, and now I would regrid
these emissions to the model grid that has 0.5° of resolution.
Since the units of emissions are kgC/m2, I used a conservative remapping in
order to take into account the different area of the grids. Therefore the
command that I used is:

cdo remapcon,Model_Grid.nc Fire_Emissions.nc outputfile.nc

where this the dump of Model_Grid.nc:
dimensions:
lon = 130 ;
lat = 78 ;
time = 31 ;
variables:
float lon(lon) ;
lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
float lat(lat) ;
lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
float time(time) ;
time:units = "days since 2002-07-31 00:00:0.0" ;

and this is the dump of Fire_Emissions.nc:

dimensions:
lon = 1400 ;
lat = 1100 ;
species = 34 ;
time = 31 ;
variables:
float lon(lon) ;
lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
float lat(lat) ;
lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
float time(time) ;
time:units = "days since 2002-07-31 00:00:0.0" ;
float Emissions(time, species, lat, lon) ;

After the regridding, the emissions computed on the model grid are much lower
than the initial values.
Could you please help me to find a proper solution?

Thanks into advance
Regard
Markus

Just in case this might be caused be the input data, it would be great to have the files available. If they are to big, a singel timestep may enought to reproduce the behaviour.
