Here are some so far identified issues with euro4m/uerra data interpolation & visualization

RL .. rotated latlon projection

LC .. Lambert conformal projection

Interpolation

libemos:

RL, LC .. current version cannot handle it

CDO:

RL .. yes (including conversion to NetCDF is asked)

LC .. not

COSMO verification/interpolation package versus:

RL, LC .. yes

MIR:

should be able to handle both!

Visualization

Metview

RL .. some of them yes (mogreps OK, hirlam KO?)

LC .. conversion to geopoints assums always scanningFactor = 64 (= both positive directions)

 

Verification/interpolation package versus (Unknown User (dcesari@arpa.emr.it))

In order to install the binary package, which will work on any reasonably recent linux x86_64 platform, you need to do the following operations:

 

# go to the directory where you wish to install the software

tar -zxvf path/to/versus_extra_software-1.4_unibin.tar.gz

cd ves

./install_from_bin.sh

 

at this point the installation is complete and you will have, in your home directory, a file called "ves_profile". When you need to use the package in a terminal session or in a batch script you have to "source"  once that file, assuming you use bash/ksh, in the following way:

. ~/ves_profile

 

after this operation you have access, within that session, to all the programs of the package.

For interpolating grib data to a regular lat/lon grid you can use the following command:

 

vg6d_transform --trans-type=inter --sub-type=bilin \

   --type=regular_ll --nx=... --ny=... \

   --x-min=... --y-min=... --x-max=... --y-max=... \

   inputfile outputfile

 

where, of course you have to fill the parameters of the target grid, just start vg6d_transform without arguments to see the instructions. The package contains many other tools and utilities for managing grib and observed data, but what I explained here is the minimum required for your purpose.
