MC descriptor file for unevenly spaced time in netCDF files
Hi list,
I would like to make an MC descriptor file for some model outputs I
have, but the data is unevenly spaced in time, i.e. I have data for the
first day of every month, and the length of each month differs. Is it at
all possible to create an MC file that would do that?
I tried:
&FORMAT_RECORD
D_TYPE = ' MC',
D_FORMAT = ' 1A',
/
&BACKGROUND_RECORD
D_TITLE = 'MOM model output forced by ERA40 data',
D_T0TIME = '01-JAN-0001 00:00:00',
D_TIME_UNIT = 86400.0,
D_CALTYPE = 'NOLEAP',
D_TIME_MODULO = .FALSE.,
/
&MESSAGE_RECORD
D_MESSAGE = ' ',
D_ALERT_ON_OPEN = F,
D_ALERT_ON_OUTPUT = F,
/
&EXTRA_RECORD
/
&STEPFILE_RECORD
s_filename = 'mixtest_.000003.01.01.pe.12.nc',
S_AUX_SET_NUM = 0,
S_START = 31.0,
S_END = 730.0
S_DELTA = 30.39130435,
S_NUM_OF_FILES = 1,
S_REGVARFLAG = ' ',
/
&STEPFILE_RECORD
s_filename = 'mixtest_.000005.01.01.pe.12.nc',
S_AUX_SET_NUM = 0,
S_START = 761.0,
S_END = 1460.0
S_DELTA = 30.39130435,
S_NUM_OF_FILES = 1,
S_REGVARFLAG = ' ',
/
&STEPFILE_RECORD
s_filename = '**END OF STEPFILES**'
/
?
Since listing the t-grid gives (for the second file only)
yes? list t[gt=u[d=mixtest_.000005.01.01.pe.12.nc]]
VARIABLE : T
axis TIME3
SUBSET : 24 points (TIME)
CALENDAR : NOLEAP
01-FEB-0003 00 / 1: 761.
01-MAR-0003 00 / 2: 789.
01-APR-0003 00 / 3: 820.
01-MAY-0003 00 / 4: 850.
01-JUN-0003 00 / 5: 881.
01-JUL-0003 00 / 6: 911.
01-AUG-0003 00 / 7: 942.
01-SEP-0003 00 / 8: 973.
01-OCT-0003 00 / 9: 1003.
01-NOV-0003 00 / 10: 1034.
01-DEC-0003 00 / 11: 1064.
01-JAN-0004 00 / 12: 1095.
01-FEB-0004 00 / 13: 1126.
01-MAR-0004 00 / 14: 1154.
01-APR-0004 00 / 15: 1185.
01-MAY-0004 00 / 16: 1215.
01-JUN-0004 00 / 17: 1246.
01-JUL-0004 00 / 18: 1276.
01-AUG-0004 00 / 19: 1307.
01-SEP-0004 00 / 20: 1338.
01-OCT-0004 00 / 21: 1368.
01-NOV-0004 00 / 22: 1399.
01-DEC-0004 00 / 23: 1429.
01-JAN-0005 00 / 24: 1460.
and I therefor put S_DELTA = (1460-761)/23.
However, when I try to use the descriptor file I get a wrong range for l
or l=1:46 but the files I'm concatinating have l=1:24 each! It turns out
that it's the last record in each file that's lost. Any thoughts?
