The daily files were created for 1-1-2017 to 1-31-2020 in:
/gpfsm/dhome/jacarton/merra2/execs/daily/2018-2019/.  

The files
were then sftp'd to /aosc/horse/carton/merra2/2017-2019/.  

The files were then converted to netcdf:
cdo -f nc4 import_binary lwgab.ctl lwgab-2017-2019.nc
cdo -f nc4 import_binary precsnoocn.ctl precsnoocn-2017-2019.nc
cdo -f nc4 import_binary qv2m.ctl qv2m-2017-2019.nc
cdo -f nc4 import_binary rainocn.ctl rainocn-2017-2019.nc
cdo -f nc4 import_binary slp.ctl slp-2017-2019.nc
cdo -f nc4 import_binary swgdn.ctl swgdn-2017-2019.nc
cdo -f nc4 import_binary t2m.ctl t2m-2017-2019.nc
cdo -f nc4 import_binary u10.ctl u10-2017-2019.nc
cdo -f nc4 import_binary v10.ctl v10-2017-2019.nc

Next, combine new files with the original files
setenv SKIP_SAME_TIME "1"

Next, eliminate missing values over land in the precip files.
cdo setmisstonn merra2_precsnoocn_1dy_1-1980-1-2020.nc merra2_precsnoocn_1dy_1-1980-1-2020new.nc
cdo setmisstonn merra2_rainocn_1dy_1-1980-1-2020.nc merra2_rainocn_1dy_1-1980-1-2020new.nc

All files were then copied to /aosc/greenland/forcing/merra2

Finally, I checked max and min values: t2m:185-318K; qv2m:0-0.0302; slp:91543-107000; swgdn:0-471; lwgab:35-477;
precsnoocn:0-0.00255; rainocean: 0-0.0126; u10m:-40- +38; v10m: -36- +36
