Dear Joe,
I able to offer you the cdo routines: http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/fileadmin/software/cdo/ It is not completely CF 1.2 compliant. It is near 1.0. The main focus is grib but you can use it for netCDF as well. We used the cdo routines for the transformation from a coordinate system to lat/lon space for the 'CLM regional climate model runs forced by the global IPCC scenario runs' project: http://cera-www.dkrz.de/WDCC/ui/Project.jsp?proj=CLM_regional_climate_model_runs The data stream 3 (projected onto a non-rotated grid with 0.2 deg. spatial resolution) was created for the 'data consumer'. The quality control of the data stream 3 was very complex, because we had to use two different transformations depending on the model (nearest neighbour method and bilinear interpolation). I hope this will help you Best regards Heinke Heinke Höck Max-Planck-Institut fuer Meteorologie Abteilung Modelle und Daten Bundesstr. 53 D-20146 Hamburg Germany Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mad.zmaw.de/ _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
