Help! How to get the weather information of a point plot?

[Shailendra Rai]

hi,
the format of the data file which grads writes is in Binary which you can not read by text editor. You have to convert this file in ASCII format by a simple fortran read write program. If you need I can provide the program.
bye and take care
