How to convert the soil data #21

Closed yjtw closed 2 years ago

yjtw commented 2 years ago

Hello, I still haven't figured out the conversion method of soil input data. I see that according to the executable file cdf2soil, I should first obtain the soil data in NC file format. But the HWSD data uses the BIL and MDB formats. How should the conversion be completed?

The cdf2soil file is a helper function that you can, but don't have to use. See #20 for a link to the GGCMI githup repository with a script that converts the original HWSD to netCDF. Basically all you need is a vector of soil codes in the order of the grid.bin file that you use. If you are using 1-byte integer values, you don't need a header, which is the standard setup of soil code input.
You can choose any way of producing that vector, no need to use the cdf2soil tool.
