Hi!
I've started to use Grads just recently and I try to plot some grib
files. These files contain data on rotated lat/lon grid with the
following parameters:
Data represent type: rotated lat/lon
Number of points along a parallel. 306
Number of points along a meridian. 260
Latitude of first grid point. -20.427
Longitude of first grid point. -46.475
Resolution and components flag. 10000000
Latitude of last grid point. 31.373
Longitude of last grid point. 14.524
i direction (East-West) increment. 0.200
j direction (North-South) increment. 0.200
Latitude of southern pole of rotation. -40.000
Longitude of southern pole of rotation. 22.000
Angle of rotation. .0000000000
Could anyone help me how to plot these fields correctly, i.e. how to
tell grads about the rotation? I generated the ctl file with
grib2ctl.pl, and I get this as part of the ctl file:
* Rotated LatLon grid: South pole lat -40.000000 lon 22.000000 rot
angle 0.000000
ydef 260 linear -20.427000 0.2
xdef 306 linear -46.475000 0.199996721311475
Thanks in advance,
