Bailey,

It seems like you don't need geometric transformation of your images. We can 
see that your input is called reprojected. You just need to re-scale it, 
interpolating/filling it up with pixels values based on cubic method. 

You can do that with gdal_translate -tr or -outsize parameters. 

It should be faster since it requires less floating point computation on the 
warping/transformation.

But it could be that gdalwarp is smart enough to figure out that it doesn't 
need to do any transformation.

You can give it a try.

Regards,

Ivan

Subject: [gdal-dev] Need to resample climate data to very fine resolution









Hello,
 
I am having issues using gdalwarp to resample climate data to a finer 
resolution. Each climate raster has been clipped to the extent of Alaska, and 
contain >300 layers (1 for every month from 1979-2010). The current resolution 
of the rasters
 is >1000 km and they need to be resample to around 33 meters, making the new 
files go from ~8 MB to 33 GB. I have been testing out gdalwarp on these files 
but so far I cannot get them to resample in a reasonable amount of time. I ran 
one for over 15 hours
 on my universities campus cluster and it never passed the 0% complete mark.  I 
need to be able to get each file done in less then 48 hours since that is the 
time frame limit on the cluster.

 
My current code is: gdalwarp 
/project/oa/akpaleo/climate/ccsm4/modern/reprojected/pr_Amon_CCSM4_amip_r1i1p1_197901-201012.tif
 –tr 33.945415050894333 33.945415050894333 –r “cubic” 
/projects/oa/akpaleo/climate/ccsm4/modern/resample/pr.tif

 
 
I don’t know if I have written this out incorrectly to get the resample to work 
since I am new to gdal, but I believe this is correct.
 
Does anyone know a reasonable way to speed this process up (or get around the 
time limit issue) correctly without causing incorrect calculations
 to the output files? 
 
I’ve attached a link to one of the climate rasters I am using.
