I´m interested to use paraview to postprocess NEMO Oceanographic data which are stored in netCDF files. NEMO uses staggered grid and therefore the velocities are stored at the cell faces while scalars are stored in the cell centers. Is there an automated way to colocate the velocites either during load of data or using any of the paraview filters to later on be able to plot the velocities.
