ConvertToHDF5 PROBLEM WITH GFS TO HDF5 Convertion

[erodriguezrubio@yahoo.com.ar]

Hi MOHID users

I can't convert my grib2-netcdf files to Mohid HDF5 file for initial condition in my model.

I was follow the instructions in the Mohid Wiki home page but the error allways is : ReadOptions - ConvertToHDF5 - ERR210

The following steps was done:

NOTE: my MOHID version is 4.9.2.39435

1. Down load data in Grib2 format :
ftp: nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/GFS/Grid4/201205/20120521/gfs_4_20120521_0000_000.grb2
or
ftp: ftp://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/ncc ... z.pgrb2f00

2. using wgrib2 to netcdf
wgrib2 gfs_4_20120521_0000_000.grb2 -small_grib -100:-54 4:44 Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.grib

extract GFS variables:
wgrib2 -match ":TMP:10 mb:" -netcdf Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.nc Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.grib
wgrib2 -match ":UGRD:10 mb:" -append -netcdf Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.nc Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.grib
wgrib2 -match ":VGRD:10 mb:" -append -netcdf Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.nc Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.grib
wgrib2 -match ":TMP:2 m above ground:" -append -netcdf Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.nc Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.grib
wgrib2 -match ":LAND:surface:" -append -netcdf Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.nc Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.grib
wgrib2 -match ":PRMSL:mean sea level:" -append -netcdf Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.nc Malla_01_GFS_20120521_0000_000.grib

Thank you for any help with this problem

Hi Efrain,

Sorry for the late answer. Which version of ConvertToHDF5 are you using. Most likely you're using an old version that does not even supports this operation (generic netcdf to hdf5).
You may want to update to MOHID Studio http://www.actionmodulers.pt/default.aspx?canal=33.
In the MOHID Studio installation folder you'll find a new version of ConvertToHDF5.
Otherwise send me an e-mail and I'll send you an updated version of ConvertToHDF5.

Cheers,
Luis

Best regards.

ConvertTHdf5.exe could send the program to my email. Because I do not work with the updated version of Mohi Studio .

Thank you.

I compiled the source code of ConvertToHdf5 , but I'm having trouble trying to convert netcdf to MOHID GFS , so next I get the following error :

Error_ConvertToHdf5.png (136.5 KiB) Viewed 6705 times

The compilation was made on a 32-bit platadorma with VisualStudio 2010 , taking into account the dependencies NetCDF and HDF5 are found in the source code.
I would also like to know if the version of the source code MOHID found on the Codeplex fix compatibility with openmpi.

Could help me find the solution to this error?

Thank you very much .

Hello Guido,

Sorry the delay answer.

to know what happens you can compile the convertohdf5 executable in VisualStudio 2010 going to ConvertToHDF5 properties and in Fortran -> Run-Time -> Generate Traceback Information -> Yes. And the lines where the error occurs will appear in the black window that can help solving the problem.

And post here the result.
And you can also post the data file with your options.

Best regards,
David
