remapcon-SCRIP and YAC give different outputs
Added by Shizhu Wang about 5 years ago
Hi all,
I use cdo to remap a nc file of gaussian (384x192) grid to n47 grid like this:
cdo remapcon,n47 in.nc out.nc
When I use cdo1.9.6, the output is
cdo remapcon: YAC first order conservative weights from gaussian (384x192) to gaussian (188x94) grid
When I use cdo1.8.2_gnu, the output is
cdo remapcon: SCRIP first order conservative weights from gaussian (384x192) to gaussian (192x94) grid
So, why do YAC and SCRIP packages give different n47 grids? I think there should be only one type of n47 grid.
Thank you,
Shizhu

hi!
I am not an expert on these grids, this mismatch is not present for the latest release 1.9.8

Hi ralf,
thank you for the answer. So now the problem is the previous version (e.g., 1.8.2) define the n47 gaussinan grid as
192x94
while the newer version (e.g., 1.9.6 or 1.9.8) define the n47 grid as
188x94
Best,
Shizhu
