error invalid grid type - lambert conformal conic

Added by Natalia L almost 6 years ago

Hello,

I want to remap a latlon grid (land_use.nc) to a lambert conformal conic projection.

I define the lcc grid as following

#Set grid specification
cat > mygrid.txt <<EOF
gridtype = lcc2
gridsize = $GRDSIZE
xname = x
xlongname = x coordinate of projection
xunits = m
yname = y
ylongname = y coordinate of projection
yunits = m
xsize = 230
ysize = 180
a = 6370000.
lon_0 = 13
lat_0 = 26
lat_1 = 30
lat_2 = 60
xfirst = 3024467
xinc = 6000
yfirst = 354652
yinc = 6000
EOF

SO, I do the following
cdo remapcon mygrid.txt land_use.nc outfile.nc
cdo setgridtype,curvilinear -setgrid,mygrid.txt outfile.nc regrid.nc

and it gets the error
cdo remapcon (Abort): Invalid gridtype: lcc2 (grid description file: mygrid.txt)

I use cdo v.1.9.5

In case of defining the gritype as curvilinear then it does not recognise the parameter lon_0 etc.
Any help with this? How do I have to define the lcc projection?

Do I have to define the proj4_params? If so, how I could do that?

thank you
N.

Hi Natalia,

see https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/embedded/index.html#x1-150001.3.2. The gridtype should be projection and you have to add the grid_mapping_name lambert_conformal_conic.

This was already mentioned in one of your questions in the Support Forum https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/boards/1/topics/6986. There you can see an example grid description file.

Thank you very much.

in the grid description, the parameters longitudeOfFirstGridPointInDegrees, latitudeOfFirstGridPointInDegrees correspond to the lower left cell centres?

Hi Karin, thank you.

It seems that the remapping still does not work properly.

So, I am trying to remap with nearest neighbour (remapnn) a land use database (attached lu.nc) with a lat-lon projection to a lambert conformal conic projection grid.

I do the following :

cat > $Database_outdir/mygrid.txt <<EOF
gridtype = projection
gridsize = 38809
xname = x
xunits = "m"
yname = y
yunits = "m"
xsize = 394
ysize = 394
xfirst = 3574465
xinc = 1000
yfirst = 640651
yinc = 1000
uvRelativeToGrid = 1
grid_mapping = Lambert_Conformal
grid_mapping_name = lambert_conformal_conic
standard_parallel = 30 #true lat1
longitude_of_central_meridian = 13 #central longitude
latitude_of_projection_origin = 26 #central latitude
earth_radius = 6370000.
longitudeOfFirstGridPointInDegrees = 48.55109
latitudeOfFirstGridPointInDegrees =24.5468
EOF

cdo remapnn, mygrid.txt lu.nc outfile1.nc
cdo setgridtype,curvilinear -setgrid,mygrid.txt outfile1.nc regrid.nc

the remapnn does not work properly. I attach the outputs.
Is the grid definition correct?

thank you again.
