Ashish,

Please post everything on the mailing list and not to individuals in future,
it helps others as well and in this case shows others the error that you've
encountered.

It seems as if your netcdf file is corrupt or not compatible with grads. Try
"ncdump wrfout_d01_1999-10-26_00:00:00" and check if you see anything
suspicious. I have no WRF experience so I'm afraid I can't help you more.

sdfopen "filename". It did not work and showes some message like:

> SDF file has no discernable X coordinate.

conversion programme wrf2grads. The output is in netcdf format.
