downloading and visualizing NARR data

[Alan Robock]

Dear Friends,

A student, Anthony DeAngelis, and I are trying to download monthly mean
NARR fields and read them with GrADS.

We downloaded a climatology file, cpc_rr_mon.1979-2001.clim.06, and the
grads control and index files, cpc_rr_mon.1979-2001.clim.ctl and
cpc_rr_mon.1979-2001.clim.idx, but could not get GrADS to make
reasonable plots.  We got hints from Wesley, but still could not get it
to work.

Has anyone done this, and could they tell us what to do, particularly
how to modify the .ctl file to get it to work?  Thanks.

Alan
