(RESOLVED) ERA5 netcdf to WPS Intermediate format

[gabriel_bromley]

Hello,

Are there any scripts available to convert netcdf data to a format that metgrid can read? ERA5 on the RDA is in NC format, and the grib format is on HPSS so very slow to transfer/use.

Thanks!

Gabe

Gabe,
I am sorry that we don't have such utility. However, you can always read the netCDF data, then write out files in intermediate format.metgrid can always read data in that format.

Thanks for your reply Ming. What utility will output in the intermediate format? Can CDO/NCO convert netcdf to intermediate? Thanks!

Gabe,
I don't think CDO/NCO can convert netCDF to intermediate format. You will need to create a code to read the netCDF data, then write out in intermediate format. Unfortunately we don't have such a utility at hand now.
