I would like to use cdo in UBUNTU 14.04. I built and installed the required libraries (zlib-1.2.8, hdf5-1.8.12,grib_api-1.9.18, jasper-1.900.1, netcdf-4.2.1.1, cdo-1.6.4rc4) by the following suggestion:
http://www.studytrails.com/blog/install-climate-data-operator-cdo-with-netcdf-grib2-and-hdf5-support/
When I tested cdo by a grib file using cdo sinfo test.grb operator, I got the following message: cdo is not installed. I reviewed the ubuntu software center and I installed cdo.
So now the cdo 1.6.2+dfsg.1-1 version is installed. I tested it again with the above mentioned operator and the following error message was written:
Error (gribapiGetGrid): unsupported grid type: lcc
I do not understand what the problem is? Could someone please tell me what I should to do?
Dear Beata,
1. open terminal (terminal or konsole) and type
sudo -s -H
and after enter your root password for root privilege (for possibilty to install a package)
2. after, type line:
add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe restricted multiverse"
3. after, type line:
apt-get update
4. after, type line:
apt-get install cdo
and press y to install
Hope this helps you!
Hi Beata,
first great to see that you are going to use cdo's, they are a very useful tool. I am not quite sure what type of grid you are using, but I do know that cdo's need data to be on a lat-lon grid. The coordinate variables of the grid must have attributes such as "degrees north", "degrees east" or similar. Otherwise, cdo's will not work.
I for my part only use cdo's with netcdf files so I have no experience with grib files really.
It may be worth looking at the data with a different software to see what you are actually trying to look at. Are you familiar with NCL (NCAR Command Language)? It's available for download at http://ncl.ucar.edu/Download/ and it is straight forward to install. Just follow the instructions on that webpage. NCL can access grib files. When it's installed, you should be able to view the contents of the file in the terminal by typing "ncl_filedump THEFILE".
Hope this helps!
