Structure of GrADs Binary Data File

[Eric Altshuler]

Dear Shun Jie Liu,

Unless special indications are made in the data descriptor file, grads assumes the data ordering is:

Time -> Variable -> Z -> Y -> X

so you are correct except you have X and Y in the wrong order.

Subject: Structure of GrADs Binary Data File

Hello GrADs Users,
I want to confirm something about the binary file structure.
I read the documentation on the GrADs website and just want to make sure my idea is right

For example, a 5D data (Time, X, Y, Z, Variables)
