[ncl-talk] How to convert TRMM real time binary file to netcdf format

[Marston Johnston]

Without your script we cannot do anything to help the situation.

It is a good idea to post enough info for us to help. I hope you have modified the NCL script you copied online to suit your particular needs. Check where you got the TRMM file for info on what type of binary file it is and how to read it. They might even have a script of their own. The more info you have about the data, the more it helps you understand what’s going wrong, and the more we can do to help you.

Hi,

 

Thanks for suggestion.

I ran ncl script but got following error : fatal:syntax error: line 1 in file 3B42RT.2016112303.7.bin before or near 42

 

PFA screenshot for reference.

 

Thanks and Regards.

Hi,

 

“ncdump” is a netcdf command that reads netcdf data files. It is not a tool for reading binary data or conversion to netcdf. 

For that you will have to read in the TRMM data in NCL and write the results to a netcdf file.

Take a look at NCL script:

Best,

Hi,

 

Can we convert TRMM near real time binary file to netcdf format using ncdump command ?
