[ncl-talk] How to convert netcdf to grib format

[Beáta Szábo-Takács]

Hi,
According to CDO support:
The grid type generic means that the variables have either no grid information or the grid information is not supported in CDO.
In both cases it is not possible to store the data in GRIB format. Here is a list of all supported CDO GRIB grid types:

  *   Latitude/longitude grid
  *   Lambert conformal grid
  *   Gaussian latitude/longitude grid
  *   Rotated latitude/longitude grid
  *   Spherical Harmonic Coefficients
  *   Icosahedral-hexagonal GME grid
You have to add the missing grid information with setgrid if there is no grid information in your file and the variables are stored on one of the above grids:
cdo -f grb setgrid,mygrid cc.nc cc.grb
You can check the grid information of the variables with the CDO function sinfo or griddes.

I hope I could help you.

Beata

I tried cdo -
cdo -f grb copy DET_10N20N_76E85E_2016111712.nc DET_10N20N_76E85E_2016111712.grib

but i am getting following error :

Warning (cgribexDefGrid) : The CGRIBEX library can not store fields on the used grid!

Error (cgribexDefGrid) : Unsupported grid type: generic

Hi,

I think you can convert netcdf to grib by CDO. Try the following operator:

cdo -f grb copy file.nc<http://file.nc> file.grb

I hope it helps.

Hi,

What i want is netcdf to grib2 format instead of grib to netcdf.

Thanks and Regards,
Arunima Singh

Hi,

I have one netcdf file that i want to convert to grib format.
Can we do this conversion with ncl?

If yes, how?

Thanks and Regards,
