It seems that no one of the CDLs files coming with the decoders.tar files (avn-1.25x1.25.cdl, avn-a.cdl, avn-q.cdl, avn-x.cdl) are good for them, unless I use the -q option, i.e. changing the data resolution. What should I do to convert the grib files in netcdf mantaining the 1.0x1.0 degrees resolution? Again, do you think it would be possible to use the gribtonc decoder with the LAPS CDLs files (one of them is in attachment to this mail)?
Tiziana, Since I not familar with the avn (grid 3, 65160 point) model in particular I can't give a direct answer but I will the give procedure on how to get the correct CDL. If the LAPS cdl file works by all means use it. But I would check the output using ncdump to make sure all the fields are being populated. NetCDF allocates the space before the input is actually processed so reserving variable space without using it is wasted. At this time, the status of the LAPS gribtonc code is not known. It's possible they have modified the code so Unidata's gribtonc will not workwith their cdl.
Another approach would be to use the would be to use the closest fit avncdl file from the tar files and then modify the x and y parameters or lat and lon parameters, using avn-1.25x1.25 as a template then it would look
like this at the bottom of the file. ie
At top:
lat = 181 ; // latitude
lon = 360 ;
At bottom: lon = -30, -29, -28 .... lat = -90.0, -89.0 -88.0 ....I would run the newing created cdl from the command line to check out your
progress. % gribtonc -vl - avn-1.0x1.0.cdl test.nc < avn.input Hopes this helps, Robb...
Thank you very much for any help you could give to me. I really appreciate your work.
