NOVICE USER QUESTION

[Mike]

Hi,

I am relatively new to GRADS.  I tried making a data file and .ctl and am having some issues plotting it up.  I am pretty sure it is because I am unsure of the .ctl's format.  I made a TEST.out file which mirrors the data I want to make a plot of.  It has 5 columns and 9 rows.  The columns are XDIM, YDIM, LAT,LONG, WINDSPEED. Using the GRADS USER MANUAL I made a simple Fortran program to put the data in a readable format for grads(test.f).  I outputed the files first in ASCII(GRADS_ASCII.dat) to check to see if they were correct and then in the grads useable format(GRADS_BIN.dat).  I then made GRADS.ctl.  I know the .ctl file is accessing the GRADS_BIN.dat file, because I change the WINDSPEED value in the first row from 5 to 10 and the plot in grads changes.  It looks nothing like I want it to long like though.

I tarred the files together and have attached them Any help would be much appreciated!

-Michael
