[gradsusr] Help on Areal average using Grads

[Anil Kumar]

Dear Jennifer,

 

Referencing your below reply, Am trying to use amax() with linear interpolation to the same problem (need area maximum now) But am not getting the maximum values in destination grid. I have gone throu’ the documentation http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradfunclterp.html but am not getting any clue that we can use amax() function with the ltrep. But when I use it not getting the maximum value’s plot in grads. Below is the command used and CTL file.

 

reinit

sdfopen D:/WeatherGribFiles/2014/06/11/rtofs_glo_2ds_f024_daily_prog.nc

open D:/WeatherGribFiles/2014/06/11/rtofs_glo_2ds_f024_daily_prog2.ctl

set parea 0 11 0 8.5

set vpage 0 11 0 8.5

set lon -74.16 434

set lat -90 90

set cthick 6

set arrscl 0.10 

d lterp(u_velocity.1*1.95,lat.2,amax);lterp(v_velocity.1*1.95,lat.2,amax)

 

CTL file :

v_velocity=>v_velocity  1  t,z,y,x  northward_sea_water_velocity (m/s)  

endvars

 

As I change the X def, ydef entries for the dummy destination grid size, value changes but I expect it to be max every time. Please lead me.

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi, Anil -- 

You need to create a new descriptor file that describes a grid you would like to be your 'destination grid'; presumably it would have grid points that correspond to every 8th grid point in your original grid. It can be a dummy descriptor -- use 'dset ^foo.dat' and 'options template' so GrADS won't care if foo.dat doesn't exist. Open both descriptors, then use lterp to regrid using the aave method:

 

   'd lterp(u.1,lat.2,aave); lterp(v.1,lat.2,aave)'

Hi Grad Users,

 

I have NetCDF file having Ocean Current Data (attached for reference). Am using below command to display u_velocity and v_velocity and generating vector plot using SKIP() function from Grads.

 

reinit

sdfopen D:/rtofs_glo_2ds_f024_daily_prog.nc <http://rtofs_glo_2ds_f024_daily_prog.nc/> 

set vpage 0 11 0 8.5

set parea 0 11 0 8.5

set lon 74 434

set lat -70 70

set mproj latlon

set display color white

set datawarn off

set grads off

set timelab off

set xlab off

set ylab off

set frame off

set t 1

set cint 40

set display color white

set background 0 

set gxout vector

set cthick 6

set ccolor 1

d skip(u_velocity*1.95,8,8);skip(v_velocity*1.95,8,8)

printim D:\output.png x1061 y587 -t 0

 

output is attached and unfortunately this is not what i need exactly. It is just plotting every 8th point. I want to plot areal average of every 8 points and want exactly the same plot.

NetCDF file has 4320 LON points  and 2160  LAT points. The “display” command is powerful enough to iterate along the longitude and latitude. But aave() <http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradfuncaave.html>  function needs fixed X and Y dimensions, no STRIDE option for X and Y.

 

How can I achieve this using Grads??? Ultimately I need global vector output.

 

Please help me on this. Thanks in advance.
