I have a NetCDF file with rotated coordinates. I need to convert it to normal lat/lon coordinates (-180 to 180 for lon and -90 to 90 for lat).
library(ncdf4)
nc_open('dat.nf')
For the dimensions, it shows:
[1] " 5 variables (excluding dimension variables):"
[1] " double time_bnds[bnds,time] "
[1] " double lon[rlon,rlat] "
[1] " long_name: longitude"
[1] " units: degrees_east"
[1] " double lat[rlon,rlat] "
[1] " long_name: latitude"
[1] " units: degrees_north"
[1] " char rotated_pole[] "
[1] " grid_mapping_name: rotated_latitude_longitude"
[1] " grid_north_pole_longitude: 83"
[1] " grid_north_pole_latitude: 42.5"
[1] " float tasmax[rlon,rlat,time] "
[1] " long_name: Daily Maximum Near-Surface Air Temperature"
[1] " standard_name: air_temperature"
[1] " units: K"
[1] " cell_methods: time:maximum within days time:mean over days"
[1] " coordinates: lon lat"
[1] " grid_mapping: rotated_pole"
[1] " _FillValue: 1.00000002004088e+20"
[1] " 4 dimensions:"
[1] " rlon Size:310"
[1] " long_name: longitude in rotated pole grid"
[1] " units: degrees"
[1] " axis: X"
[1] " standard_name: grid_longitude"
[1] " rlat Size:260"
[1] " long_name: latitude in rotated pole grid"
[1] " units: degrees"
[1] " axis: Y"
[1] " standard_name: grid_latitude"
[1] " bnds Size:2"
Could anyone show me how to convert the rotated coordinates back to normal lat/lon? Thanks.
