Separate column for each variables in csv file.

Added by ibomcha meitei almost 4 years ago

Hello Everyone,
I am using codex NetCDF data for the extraction of time-series data.
I used cdo -outputtab,date,lon,lat,value -remapnn,lon={}_lat={} input.nc> output.csv for extraction for a given lon and lat value.
Here my output.csv files come with variables "date, lon, lat and value" in a single column as attached.
How can I have a separate column for each variable?

Thanks

Hi Bijoy,

the output is exactly what I would expect.

#      date    lat    lon    value 
 1950-01-01  31.57 -85.25 0.0305868 
 1950-01-01  31.57 -85.25 0.03933538 
 1950-01-01  31.57 -85.25 0.03950347 
 1950-01-01  31.57 -85.25 0.03850033 
 1950-01-01  31.57 -85.25 0.0363825 
 1950-01-01  31.57 -85.25 0.03502262 
 1950-01-01  31.57 -85.25 0.03346673 
 1950-01-01  31.57 -85.25 0.03049384 
 1950-01-01  31.57 -85.25 0.0211379

You can write a script that reads the individual variables from the CSV file and then writes them to a new file according to your format request.
But then you have to use the name parameter with outputtab, too.

cdo -outputtab,name,date,lon,lat,value -remapnn,lon={5.0}_lat={10.0} -select,name=rhumidity,var3,t rectilinear_grid_3D.nc > out.csv

Example output:

#    name       date    lon    lat    value 
rhumidity  2001-01-01     5     10  0.5367422 
rhumidity  2001-01-02     5     10  0.3914891 
rhumidity  2001-01-03     5     10  0.5083991 
    var3   2001-01-01     5     10  5.736573 
    var3   2001-01-02     5     10  10.83926 
    var3   2001-01-03     5     10  4.410503 
       t   2001-01-01     5     10  295.223 
       t   2001-01-02     5     10  294.6711 
       t   2001-01-03     5     10  232.0437

Thanks, Karin for your reply.
However, still I got a single column which I want to have different columns for each variable.
I have used
cdo -outputtab,name,date,value -remapnn,lon=-85.25_lat=31.57 -select,name=pr pr.sample.nc> out1.csv.

In addition, is this possible to show both date and time in a single column? So, my expected outcome looks like

@ |name | Date-Time | value | |pr |01/01/200612:00:00 | 0.002509068 | |pr |01/02/200612:00:00 | 0.8440843 | |pr 01/03/200612:00:00 | 0.3695453 |

No, sorry. The output of each parameter is seperated by a blank.
But you can solve this with a script by combining the date and time columns and saving them in a new output file.
