[IDV #TPR-251498]: Saving Point Data as Gridded Data Files

William,

You will have to define a Jython function and formula.

Here is that Jython function. (Note that I am not a meteorologist or a
scientist. You will have to vet it yourself.)

def horizontalDiv(speed,dir):
    u = speed*newName(sin(dir),"U")
    v = speed*newName(cos(dir),"V")
    return DerivedGridFactory.createHorizontalDivergence(u,v)

See this video on functions and formulas:

Though I am not sure the netCDF file is really what you want, once you have
rendered your data, go to the Displays tab of the dashboard. Select your
horizontal divergence display in the left panel. In the display tab (not the
main File menu) Go to File -> Save, Export Displayed Data to NetCDF.

Best,

Unidata IDV

> I uploaded a .csv file to the URL you provided. The filename is 
> 201405010730.csv and contains KSC/CCAFS wind tower observations of T, Td, 
> wind speed, and wind direction. I can open this file in IDV and display, for 
> example wind barbs. What I would like to do, if possible, is perform a Barnes 
> Analysis on the wind observations so I can produce a gridded file of 
> divergence. Using the Field Selector, I can create Gridded Fields of the 
> observed parameters, but I don't see how I can create a derived field from 
> the observations such as divergence.
