hi
i am calculating moisture flux vector using the foll script which
reinit
sdfopen oct2001uwindecm.nc
sdfopen oct2001sphumecm.nc
sdfopen oct2001slpecm.nc
set fwrite zfl.1998060100.288
set gxout fwrite
set x 1 145
set y 1 73
set t 1
define aa=vint(msl.3(z=1)/100.,q.2*u,300)
d aa
disable fwrite
reinit
sdfopen oct2001vwindecm.nc
sdfopen oct2001sphumecm.nc
sdfopen oct2001slpecm.nc
set fwrite mfl.1998100100.288
set gxout fwrite
set x 1 145
set y 1 73
set t 1
define bb=vint(msl.3(z=1)/100.,q.2*v,300)
d bb
disable fwrite
it works with ncep/ncar data, but when i use it with ecmwf data, it forve
s errors, as
world grid coordinates beyond data , error with q.2.
i have downloaded the files from ecmwf with levels 1000-10 for u,vwind and
1000-300 for sphum.
kindly help me

also when i open the files separately in grads. for u and v wind it shows
lev set from 10 10
but for sphum it shows lev set from 300 300.
i have downloaded the data in sequence but the levels are from high to low
both should show levels 1000 1000 as with necp
