Example 1 - Converting a single file

In this example a single GRIB file with model level data, on a regular Gaussian grid is converted to netCDF with vorticity & divergence replaced by u & v and model level data interpolated to pressure levels.

grib_set -s editionNumber=1 file file.grb
cdo -t ecmwf -f nc copy file.grb file.nc
cdo -t ecmwf dv2uvl file.nc file_uv.nc

cdo -t ecmwf ml2pl,92500,85000,50000,20000 file_uv_gg.nc file_uv_gg_pl.nc

Example 2 - Converting series of files

The following script shows how to loop over several output files using the steps above to convert to netCDF:

...

Note the spherical harmonic files are also converted but the extra command using the sp2gpl operator is first used to convert the variables from spherical harmonics to gridpoint.

Example 2

In this example a single GRIB file with model level data, on a regular Gaussian grid is converted to netCDF with vorticity & divergence replaced by u & v and model level data interpolated to pressure levels.
