Setting GRIB 6hr forecast to anl/0hr (instantaneous forecast)

Added by judy hertz almost 5 years ago

I'm trying to change the forecast time in my GRIB file, it has a 6hr forecast and I need it to be anl (as 0hr forecasts are represented). Using cdo settaxis the output reftime (cdo sinfo) and times in cdo infon are correct but using wgrib -v:
  • the date isn't incremented, it's a single date of 2018120100 throughout the file.
  • the forecast time is 'anl' for the first timestep only and reverts to 6hr forecast incremented by 6 hours for each following time step.

Thanks for any help!

Example, input file 6hr increments of 6hr forecast, cdo sinfo (CDO version 1.9.7.1):

   RefTime =  2018-11-30 18:00:00  Units = hours  Calendar = proleptic_gregorian
  YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss  YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss  YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss  YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
  2018-12-01 00:00:00  2018-12-01 06:00:00  2018-12-01 12:00:00  2018-12-01 18:00:00
  2018-12-02 00:00:00  2018-12-02 06:00:00  2018-12-02 12:00:00  2018-12-02 18:00:00

Have you tried it with option -a instead of -r:

cdo -a -f grb -settaxis,2018-12-01,00:00:00,6hour infile outfile
