Sub-area Extraction from a Fieldset
The GRIB Filter icon also allows the extraction of a sub-area from a fieldset. Create a new one and, using the Area parameter, extract just the data over a selected region for any of the supplied GRIB files. The area is defined as a list of 4 numbers, forward slash-delimited, representing the its North/West/South/East coordinates of the areabounds.
Conversion Between Fields and Points
...
Plot the results and cross-reference with the original result of 6 fields to confirm that you understand what has been computed.
Automatic conversion between grids
Write some macro code which automatically converts t2m_forecast.grib to use the same grid as the first field in uv850.grib. Hints:
...
- use the Grib Examiner to find which GRIB_API keys define these parameters
...
Extract field values at a set of locations
...
There are many ways to extract the value of a field at a given point or set of points. Try this one - call
with the latitude and longitude of a geographical location and print the result to see which data gridpoint is closest to it.nearest_gridpoint_info
( fieldset,number,number )
Automatic conversion between grids
Write some macro code which automatically converts t2m_forecast.grib to use the same grid as the first field in uv850.grib. Hints:
- read both files
- use the
grib_get_double(fieldset, string)
function twice to extract the grid resolution from the first field inuv850
(uv850[1]
)- use the Grib Examiner to find which GRIB_API keys define these parameters
- use the
read()
command to set the grid on the temperature field
