About:
CDO (Climate Data Operators) is a command-line tool designed for processing and analyzing climate and forecast data. It excels at manipulating netCDF, GRIB, and HDF5 files, offering over 600 operators for tasks like data extraction, interpolation, and statistical analysis. This tool is essential for climate scientists needing to efficiently manage large datasets.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for batch processing
  • Supports netCDF, GRIB, and HDF5 formats
  • Over 600 operators for data manipulation
  • High-performance processing of large datasets
Use Cases:
  • Extracting spatial or temporal subsets from climate model outputs
  • Regridding data to different spatial resolutions
  • Calculating climate indices and statistics
Alternatives:
  • NCO – NCO is similar but focuses more on netCDF manipulation, whereas CDO has broader support for GRIB and specialized climate operators.
  • Python (xarray) – xarray provides a more programmatic approach within Python, while CDO offers a faster, standalone CLI for simple operations.
