Using PCGrads to examine TRMM HDF files

[Ranyére Nóbrega]

Dear Aaron,
Use tthis ftp address disc2.nascom.nasa.gov/data/TRMM/ .
In this address,the files can read directly in GrADS  and yet own CTL.

I know that there is a GrADSHDF executable within the PCGrADS that should be able to open the files directly, but that doesn't seem to work. I also try to use the TSDIS viewer to convert the HDF file (or at least a subsection) into a standard GrADS file. However, the .ctl file that was crreted still did not open (there seemed to be problems with the .dat file that was created). Is the Windows version of GrADS able to examine these TRMM orbit files. Also, are there any scripts available? Thanks in advance,
