Convert Gaussina Grid to Regular LatLon

Added by Ingrid Petry over 3 years ago

I'm trying to convert a NETCDF file from a Gaussian grid to regular LatLon.

Is there an easy and secure way to do taht?

Thanks

Hi Ingrid,

if you had googled the question, you would have got the answer immediately.

cdo -setgridtype,regular infile outfile

Hi Karin, thanks for your answer.

I have tried some solutions that I found on the internet, but still without sucess.

I tried your code and cdo says "There is no reduced grid". I need to convert a T126 Gaussina Grid (lat from 0 to 360) to the traditional LatLon (lat from -180 to 180).

The solution that worked was "cdo remapbil,grid_example.nc if.nc of.nc". The problem now is that my example file has a high resolution and the file I'm trying to convert changed from 500 MB to 31 GB.
Probably I need a example file with a resolution more similar to T126, or I need to change the method.

Can you upload the data file? One timestep is enough.

Of course! Its attached.

I also tried "cdo remapbil,t126 if.nc of.nc" and CDO warned "grid type spectral not suported", although when I tried "sp2gp" operator it says "No spectral data found".

What is example_file.nc?

Remap the gaussian grid to lonlat grid:

cdo -sellonlatbox,-180,180,-90,90 -remapbil,r384x192 gaussian.nc outfile_T126_lonlat.nc

Example_file.nc is in the type of grid I want gaussian.nc to be converted.

I need to compare their values... Starting from an specific point, same coordinate in both files.

Then the above information was misleading.

cdo -remapbil,example_file.nc gaussian.nc outfile_grid_of_example_file.nc

Thanks Karin!

Problem solved :)
