Part 4- Climate Data Operators (CDO) Demonstration

This is the fourth and longest video in this 4 part series. This clip is designed to help people who know a little bit of nothing about working with command line software. The clip contains a demonstration of how to use the CDO command lines to work with NetCDF data sets we downloaded in video 2 (   • Part 2 - Downloading Climate Change D...  ) and troubleshooting some common problems. You are guided through the process of calculating the daily average temperature by merging the tasmax and tasmin data sets and using the “expression” operator. How to work with the files by importing them into ArcGIS. If you are working with point data and would rather use a spreadsheet or statistics program I show you how to export data as a tab-delimited text file.

The study referred to in these clips is part of a larger project called the “Rural Ontario Municipal Emergency Management and Critical Infrastructure: Enhancing Planning and Preparedness Capacities for Climate Change Resilience”.
