Welcome to lpjg2nc2’s documentation

lpjg2nc2 is a powerful tool for converting LPJ-GUESS output files (.out) to NetCDF format. The tool searches for run* folders in a given path, finds .out files inside their output folders, and converts them to the widely-used NetCDF format for easier analysis and visualization.

Key Features

• Efficiently process LPJ-GUESS output: Convert .out files to NetCDF format with proper coordinates and metadata

• Parallel processing: Utilize multi-core processing for faster conversion

• Grid interpolation: Remap to regular global grids using CDO

• Data Analysis: Analyze NaN values to understand data sparsity

• Flexible configuration: Control various aspects of the conversion process
