[ncl-talk] Fwd: Regridding from fine to coarse resolution by aggregating not interpolating

Mon Sep 29 21:31:38 MDT 2014

Dennis,

Thanks for the references. I was able to run Example 2 and I also looked at Example 1 and compared it to my script.

If I understand it correctly, the error I get ('bin_sum: zlat must be the same size as zlon') is related with the dimensions of lon and lat in the original data not nlat and mlon:

(...)

;*****************************************************************
; Get new grid and data to regrid
;*****************************************************************

; Get new grid
  g_in = addfile(gfile,"r")
  glat = g_in->lat
  glon = g_in->lon

  nlat = dimsizes(glat)
  mlon = dimsizes(glon)

  print("New grid = "+mlon+"x"+nlat)

; Get data
  z_in = addfile(infile,"r")
  zlat = z_in->lat
  zlon = z_in->lon
  z = z_in->pop

  nlat_in = dimsizes(zlat)
  nlon_in = dimsizes(zlon)

  print("Original grid = "+nlon_in+"x"+nlat_in)
  print(" ")

  z_sum = sum(z)

  print("Sum z:")
  print(z_sum)
  print(" ")

;*****************************************************************
; Variables to hold binned quantities
;*****************************************************************
  gbin  = new ( (/nlat,mlon/), float )
  gknt  = new ( (/nlat,mlon/), integer)

  gbin  = 0.0                      ; initialization
  gknt  = 0

;*****************************************************************

; Regrid data

;*****************************************************************
  bin_sum(gbin,gknt,glon,glat,ndtooned(zlon), ndtooned(zlat),ndtooned(z) )

  z_out_sum = sum(gbin)

  print("Sum z_out:")
  print(z_out_sum)

(...)

Is there anything else I should check/change?

Thanks,
Raquel

You should be able to bin.  nlat and mlon *can* be different sizes.

I just ran: Example 2  (random data):

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/binning.shtml

You can download the script and run it. Here nlat=36 and mlon=61

Hi Carl and Dennis,

Thanks for your quick responses.

I'm getting the following error:

fatal:bin_sum: zlat must be the same size as zlon

where

  zlat = z_in->lat
  zlon = z_in->lon

I thought that I could have different sizes for longitude and latitude.

Thanks,

Raquel

Also, see:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/

on the right under "Data Analysis", Click "Binning"

There are a few examples.

If you are new to NCL, pleasesee

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/

[1] Mini-Language Manual    (concise but detailed language overview)

[2] the DKRZ tutorials. This is a rather large pdf.
     The 1st contains a subset of the Mini-Language Manual plu many examples.
     The 2nd has a lot of exercises. Unfortunately, not all the data sets are available
     for general use.

Cheers

Hi Raquel,

I believe bin_sum will do what you're looking for:

Hi all,

I need to regrid global data from a fine (30"x30") to a coarser (0.7x0.5 deg) resolution so that each output cell contains the sum of the input cells that are encompassed by the extent of that cell. Could you please let me know if there is an ncl function I could use?

Thanks,
Raquel
