NetCDF question

[Kobi Mosquera]

Hi GrADS users,

I have a technical question. I converted my data (time serie) to a NetCDF format and
this can be quasi-ingested by GrADS because when I type "q file" the output is:

X is fixed     Lon = 1  X = 1
Y is fixed     Lat = 1  Y = 1
Z is fixed     Lev = 0  Z = 1
T is fixed     Time = 05Z01APR2001  T = 1

In my NetCDF file I have defined the Latitude and Longitude as -5 and
-78, respectively.

Does anybody know what else is necessary to put in the attributes of
Latitude and Longitude that would be read successfully by GrADS?

Thanks a lot for your answer,

KOBI.

PS. The result of the ncdump command is:
