Coordinate problems and inverted map

Question:

I’m using the salinity data of ORAS5 and the preview variables and information:

salinity =xr.open_dataset('....salinity_ORAS5.nc')
sal = salinity['sosaline']

enter image description here

So, the big problem is each "nav_lon" and "nav_lat" have 2D in x and y. Where in the normal case, for example, the lat data have 1D.

sal.nav_lon

enter image description here

In the preview plot, the map is inverted:

plt.imshow(sal)

enter image description here

I tried to convert coordinates x/y in lat/lon, but my data continue in 2D, only the values change.

The big question is how to work with my coordinates, with lon (x,y) and lat (x,y)? How transform lon in 0-360 and lat in 0-180? And visualize my map in normal projection, not inverted.

Any help is welcome!

Thank you so much.

EDIT

I need a solution to work with the Projection: Tripolar model grid.
Or to work a in tripolar model grid or interpolate the data. What is the best manner?

Could someone help me?

Answers:

I got to transform the coordinates in ‘normal’ lat/lon using CDO.
