Hi Xander,
I'm surprised: you are using global PP4LBC files. Usually we extract a sub domain off the data.
The extraction has two purposes:
1) it reduces data volumes making the data easy to transfer
2) it also changes the data to little endian.
The problem you have is that 2) hasn't happened, and so your data is big-endian, when it should be little.
Please try the following
Code:
NEW_PP4LBCDIR=[path to a new directory. Must be somewhere with a large amount of space.]
mkdir -p $NEW_PP4LBCDIR/akwsx
cd $PP4LBCDDIR/akwsx
for file akwsxa.pgk*.pp # this is just the first few years of data as a trial, remove the k to change everything
do
bigend -32 $file $NEW_PP4LBCDIR/akwsx/$file
done
Having done this, edit your ~/setvars file to change the PP4LBCDIR to the new location, and try running PRECIS again. Let us know whether it works.
Out of interest, how did you obtain this boundary data? I didn't think we gave out global data (partly because of the issue you have experienced), I'm keen to know whether there are any other users.
All the best,
Simon
