Fimex is a the File Interpolation, Manipulation, and EXtraction library for gridded geospatial data. It converts between different, extensible data formats (currently netcdf, NcML, grib1/2, metgm, wdb, and felt). It enables you to change the projection and interpolation of scalar and vector grids. It makes it possible to subset the gridded data and to extract only parts of the files. For simple usage, Fimex also comes with the command line program fimex.

Recent releases


Release Notes: The build-process of Fimex has been improved. It is now possible to build with proj-4.8 and against netcdf-4.1.2 to 4.2 without the netcdf4 file-format and by using the nc-config script. GribWriter has been extended to be able to write latitude-longitude data for grib1 and select variables by name and standard_name. The earth radius for WRF model files has been fixed, and GribReader now handles optional parameters in the configuration file.


Release Notes: With this release, Fimex starts using the towgs84 Bursa Wolff parameters from the CF-trac proposal to describe the earth position. In addition, the earth figure from felt-files is now configurable, with a default being the one from the felt documentation, i.e. spherical earth with a 6371km radius.


Release Notes: This version adds preliminary support to read and interpret WRF (Weather Research & Forecasting) model data.


Release Notes: The template interpolation in fimex allows several coordinate systems as input. The performance and memory consumption when reading data with NcML has been improved. A new processor to de-accumulate fields, e.g. precipitation, has been added and the figure of the earth can now be forced on grib files. Bugs have been found and fixed for felt files when using colon-separated variable IDs, and the detection of surface parameters has been fine tuned. The default-fill values are now synchronized with netcdf, and the axes after vector interpolation are now in degree instead of radian.


Release Notes: The fimex-interpolation routines now allow a simple list of latitude/longitude pairs and will interpolate grids to that list. Numerical effect on the edge-points of the linear interpolation have been removed. A race condition in the timeInterpolator in a multi-threaded environment has been found and fixed. The axes of felt-files with lambert projection have been changed from km to m.
