Dear users,
I am trying to use the user defined extension? Is it an opengrads only
capability because i am using grads v2.0.a4.oga.1 and
q udct is not valid command.
I have followed the instructions for installing UDE from OpenGrads Wiki
step by step.
My ultimate target is to use pygrads with IPC extension to move data
between python and grads back and forth.

Thank you
Stergios

The wiki instructions at the moment only applies to v1.9. The
OpenGrADS v2.0.a5.oga.3 (and soon .oga.4) include the extensions
already and require no configuration. See the INSTALL file that comes
with it. (The wiki is in the process of being updated.)

Subject: writing fortran programs to read netcdf files
Message-ID: <THU.2.APR.2009.071530.0200.>

I have a series of netcdf files that I want to filter out data in terms of
specific Madden Julian Oscillation indices.  I am trying to design a
fortran program to read netcdf so that I could do calculations with the
data and write the results back into a netcdf file.  In this I want to
filter out all dates for a specific Madden Julian Oscillation index and
then average the data to get an average zonal wind profile for that
specific index of MJO and how the winds change on average several days
before that date.  I was wondering how to design a fortran program to read
netcdf files and write netcdf files?  Can someone send me an example of
such a program.

Thanks,

jason

Hi Jason,

I have a small program doing various things, including reading and writing from and to netcdf file. You'll need to check the code inside.

Subroutine getvars => open and get variables from netcdf file
subroutine w2Dh => create and output variables to a new netcdif file

You will need to use netcdf libraries to complile.

Cheers and good luck!

I am not exactly sure where to put my input program in.  I have a program of
global zonal wind data, with dimensions time, latitude, longitude, pressure
levels.  I was under the impression and this is how I have done programs
reading NetCDF in the past, that you use ncopn to open NetCDF files.  I have
the netcdf.inc file and ngen.h in the current directory where my program
is.  Here is a copy of the program as it stands right now.  Can anyone help
me with isolating out the problems with this program because it has been a
while since I have used programs of reading and writing NetCDF files and I
am a little rusty on it now.


c latitude, longitude, time

parameter(nlat=37,nlon=144,nyr=3288)

c number of dimensions

parameter(nvar=10)

parameter(ndims=3)

integer nci(nvar),ncid,iselvar(nvar)

integer input(nvar)

integer i,j,k

include 'netcdf.inc'

c data variables

real data(nlon,nlat), count(nlon,nlat,nyr)

real wnd(nlon,nlat,nyr)

c grads output files

parameter (undef=-9999.)

c open all netcdf files

nci(1)=ncopn('uwnd.2002.nc',ncnowrit,rcode)

data start/1,1,1/

count(1)=nlon

count(2)=nlat

count(3)=1

count(3)=nyr

call ncagt(ncid,id,start,count,i2dat,rcode)

call ncvgt(ncid,id,start,count,i2dat,rcode)

stop

end
Thanks,

It worked. Thank you Luiz Rodrigo Tozzi

I used size=8 for the character variables and size =4 for the real and integer variables. I didn't expect that. I thought the integers needed size=2 but that proved to be wrong. I found it easier than using Fortran :)

Hi Kostas

I use R to read grads binary files using the function
readBin("binaryfile.bin",numeric(),size=4,nlon*nlat). This R function
reads it directly and I think the function "writeBin" is what you
need.

The function "seek" can be usefull for you too.

I'm trying to access output from ROMS (regional ocean model) with
GrADS.  The output, supposedly CF compliant netCDF, has a somewhat
complicated list of variables; I've attached the output from ncdump

this?  Thanks,

AMD64 is how sourceforge refers to 64-bit for intel/amd64. The "IA64"
builds usually do not work on x86_64.  Basically, do a

% uname -m
x86_64

and use the tarball that correspond to this hardware; ignore the

Note: If it complains about missing .so libraries see my recent post
on gradsusr for a way to supply these missing libraries.

Message-ID: <THU.2.APR.2009.214542.0200.>

hi
Find bellow an example for reading a variable which is assumed to have a
(lon,lat,lev,time) format from a netcdf file.
I am programming with netcdf F90 library. You must have it somewhere.

When you compile (lets say intel compiler)
ifort -I/sw/etch-ia32/netcdf-3.6.2-intel/include
-L/sw/etch-ia32/netcdf-3.6.2-intel/lib -lnetcdff -lnetcdf

In my case i use the netcdf-3.6.2 netcdf library

The writing can be done with something similar, i guess...

fname : the netcdf file
var_name: the variable you 'd like to extract
ff: the matrix
ist : the number of time step

I hope it helps,
Stergios
p.s. You may consider to use for IO only purpose something less
complicated like Python and PyNGL module while make the filtering in a
Fortran environment...

Roop,

It looks as if you are writing 264 values from FORTRAN (i.e.
gpcp_ave(1:264)), but the ctl file has nx=13, ny=11,nt=264, instead of
nx=ny=1.

Some other points:

* form='unformatted' creates a sequential access file by default (I
think - check your file size and if it appears to be 8B larger than
expected you've probably got a sequuential file with start and end of
record values), in which case you need
an "options sequential" record in your ctl file
(see under control file at
http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gadocindex.html ).
Personally I'd specify access='direct' in the FORTRAN to create a
direct access file, which makes the file structure marginally simpler
and avoids the need for the ctl file "options" stuff. Indeed I have just
seen under the documentation for "options sequential" that
"If your gridded data is written in sequential format, then each record
must be an X-Y varying grid"

whereas you currently write all times to a single record. Looks as if
it would be easier to go for direct access FORTRAN output!

Hello Jayakrishnan,

Let me ask you one more thing, im just starting in the "grads world".
Can you explain to me much better the process below?
I try to use the fortram and c programs, but I dont understand how I
use the gs file for the grads output, what do you mean with that? And
about the others files?
Im sorry my ignorance about that, I hope you help me.
Thanks a lot.

you had previously replied to this message, saying that you would look into this problem (functions within .gsf files dont correctly return a value when called from another/external .gsf/.gs script file).

have there been any updates on this?

Subject: lambert conformal conic projection with only 3 informations?
Message-ID: <MON.6.APR.2009.175111.0200.>

Hello,

I have a netcdf file that is (as far as I can tell) in lambert conformal
conic projection grid, as I have in ncdump:

        char Lambert_conformal ;
                Lambert_conformal:grid_mapping_name = "lambert_conformal_conic" ;
                Lambert_conformal:longitude_of_central_meridian = "11.5" ;
                Lambert_conformal:latitude_of_projection_origin = "50.4" ;
                Lambert_conformal:standard_parallel = "11.5" ;

That means 3 informations about the projection.

However at http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/map.html#lambert (or
http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/pdef.html), there are 9

  latref        reference latitude
  lonref        reference longitude (in degrees, E is positive, W is negative)
  iref  i of ref point
  jref  j of ref point
  Struelat      S true lat
  Ntruelat      N true lat
  slon  standard longitude
  dx    grid X increment in meters
  dy    grid Y increment in meters

I can guess that latref and lonref and maybe slon corresponds with
(in random order) longitude_of_central_meridian,
latitude_of_projection_origin and standard_parallel, but what about
the others?

I am completly ignorant on the subject, so I may be completly
missing something.

Any idea on how the other parameters can be computed, if possible?

set t 1
set x 1
set y 1

if (stationID=101) 
'draw string 1 1 Pascagoula'

You cannot use the scripting language "if" with grads variables, only with script variables.

However, if you do all you the set x, y, z, t, then display your stationID variable 'd stationID' the value of the grads variable at that set of coordinates will be displayed as text in your command window.  In a script, it works a little differently.  Instead of being displayed in the command window, the variable value is saved in a script variable with the name result.  Since this is a script variable, you can use the if with the script if statement.  Thus

'set t 1'
'set x 1'
'set y 1'
'set z 1'
'd stationID'
if (result=101) 
'draw string 1 1 Pascagoula'
endif

if (result=201) 
'draw string 1 1 Agricola'
endif

By the way, not the quotes around the set commands.  Any grads command must have quotes around it in a script.

Dear grads users,

I want to perform an action (write out a name) depending on the value of a grads data variable.
In other words, I have a grads data file that contains a code number for the name of a location.
In my control file I have the variable stationID and I want to do the following:

set t 1
set x 1
set y 1
set z 1

if (stationID=101) 
'draw string 1 1 Pascagoula'
endif

if (stationID=201) 
'draw string 1 1 Agricola'
endif

The above does not work, can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Sytske

Hi All,

Hi Michael,
 
Thanks for the suggestion. I wrote my script exactly as you indicated below (including the quotes)
but it still doesn't quite work. So I performed some tests, first by adding a
 
  say result
 
statement and the right value appears in my command window. I also checked that there were no errors 
in my draw string command by taking it out of the if - then loop. And it works fine. Anything else I'm missing?
 
Thanks again in advance,

Grads users,

I'm new to Grads and I apologize for my, most likely, simple question.

I've received a line of commands to plot storm data, but I receive an

'open mask.ctl'

The error I receive is "Can't open description file"

I didn't think the file was a description file so don't understand why
I am running into problems.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Caleb,
 
A ctl file in indeed a description file, but the file may not be in the same directory as
where you started grads from. So go to that directory and check if your ctl file is there
and if so, if you spelled its name correctly.
 
Good luck,

Systske,
What "result" do you get when you type 'd fidst' on the command line?  For 
example, when I display a variable with x,y,z, and t fixed, I get 
something like "Result value = 25.38".  You can capture the value by 
adding something like:
myval=subwrd(result,4)

then you could use myval in your if..endif statement.

If that is your entire script, I am stumped because the defaults for string attributes should print something (it may not be pretty, but it should print).  If this is part of a larger script, could you have done something that causes the string color to be the same as the background color?  There is, of course, the set string command, but set background or set color could also cause this problem.  That's my only guess.

'd fidst'

if(code=201)
'draw string 8 1 Agricola'
endif
That fixed it.

Subject: Hi resolution coastlines over Europe
Message-ID: <WED.8.APR.2009.134401.0100.>

Can someone help me with advice on the best way to get High Resolution
coastlines working over Europe in OpenGrads 2.0.5. super pack.



I know that it has been done by converting Generic Mapping Tools coastlines
for Grads but do not knows how to do this and where the subsequent files
would be placed for them to be used by Grads.



Any advice on methods to get better coastlines would be appreciated.



Thanks, Ian

Subject: convert grib2 to binary format with wgrib2
Message-ID: <WED.8.APR.2009.105500.0500.>

I have questions about converting my grib2 data to binary:

 

I tried running ?wgrib2 mygrib2file.grb2 ?bin mydata.bin?, which created a
very large binary file.

I then tried to use my existing .ctl file (that I had created with
g2ctl.pl), and modify it to point to the new binary file.

This seemed to work, grads didn?t complain when I tried to load the control
file.

However, when I tried to plot something, the values were completely off.


Whats the correct way to export a grib2 file to binary using wgrib2 & create
a proper .ctl file for this binary file?

 

Please help,

Thanks,

P.Romero

Hi,

In a grib file, the fields can be in any order. With a binary file,
GrADS expects
the fields to be in a specific order. In grib, a missing field is just
not there. In
a binary file, a missing field is an array of missing values.
It is possible rearrange the order of the grib records and to add the
missing fields,
but why?

Lats4d would give you a binary file in the same order as the ctl:

lats4d -i mydata.ctl -o mydata -format stream -v

(or use "-format sequential" for a fortran sequential file). This should
work with your ctl.  In addition you can any kind of subsetting/regridding
that lats4d usually does. See

    http://opengrads.org/doc/scripts/lats4d/

Remember, with grads v2 lats4d can only write binaries.

Subject: OpenGrADS Bundle v2.0.a5-oga.4 for Linux/Mac OS X/FreeBSD/Unix
 released
Message-ID: <WED.8.APR.2009.235448.0400.>

All,

   We just uploaded to sourceforge version 2.0.a5-oga.4 of the OpenGrADS
Bundle:


http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=305032&release_id=674371

  As the previous OpenGrADS Bundle v2.0.a5-oga.3 this release is based on
COLA's GrADS v2.0.a5 and includes additional user defined functions and
commands based on the OpenGrADS User Defined Extensions (see original
announcement of the OpenGrADS Bundle on this list for important caveats; a
complete list of extensions appear at the bottom of this message.) Read more
about bundles here:

       http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_OpenGrADS_Bundle

The current release fixes a few bugs, adds HTML documentation and some new
features:

* you can now specify up to 256 different colors (the previous limit was 100
colors);
 see attached plot.

* the extensions gxyat now includes the new command set_rgba which allows
you to
 specify a transparency level (alpha channel) for each defined color.

* the original classic UDF regrid2(), written by Mike Fiorino in Fortran,
has been implemented
 as a User Defined Extension, mostly as a device to fully test re(), a
replacement regrid
 function written entirely in C. This release also includes minor bug fixes
in re().

See ChangeLog below for additional information.

The OpenGrADS extensions are replacements for the previous (classic) User
Defined Functions. These extensions are typically written in low level
programming languages such as C or Fortran. However, you can now write GrADS
expression functions using the GrADS scripting language. As an example, we
have implemented the Suomen Saakeskus (Finnish Weathercenter) collection of
thunderstorm related functions originally developed by Stefan Gofferje as
described in the following website:

           http://www.saakeskus.fi/index.php

 Documentation for these functions are found here:

          http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/saakeskus/

For example, to plot the storm relative helicity in the first 3km of the
atmosphere using GFS data try

ga-> d srh3km(ugrdprs,vgrdprs)

BTW, the NOMADS Browser now includes a "Zoom in/out" option under the [Set
Dim] menu; give it a try.

 Enjoy!

    Arlindo

--------------
ChangeLog
2009-04-05 <dasilva at opengrads.org>, Version GrADS 2.0.a5.oga.4
* Added Steve Bloom's zooming scripts to merra/nomads GUIs
* Documentation.php: added
* doc/opengrads: added
* bundle/bundle_create.sh: docs now part of Bundle
* gagui.x: now Cmd call back expands %s into default var
* gacols.h: new defining file defining max number of colors;
 the following files now make use of this information:
          - gauser.c
          - grads.h
          - gxX.c
          - gxeps.c
          - gxgif.c
          - gxps.c
          - gxsubs.c
        * gatypes.h: #ifdef so that it only gets included once
* gxudx.c: added function to update pst
* gxyat.c: expanded help for set_rgba, minor revisions
* extension/re/re.c: in short hand mode, default (1,1) is
 no longer shifted by 1/2 delta lon, delta lat.
* acinclude.m4: when no supplibs are found, use ./null
* src/Makefile.am: again builds without the supplibs

Subject: sdfopen support for 365 day calendars

Arlindo and others:

I'm running version 2.0.a5.oga.3 on a 64-bit linux machine.  I get the
following
error when attempting to load netCDF output via sdfopen:

SDF Error: 365 day calendars are no longer supported by sdfopen

It works in 1.9.0-rc1, and I was wondering why this feature is no longer
supported
in 2.0.x versions.  Thanks,

Jim

The forum is reallya good way to learn also...and that too quickly.
can somebdy tell me if its possible to put lables(line country names, or
province names) in the plot. and also can I plot province (state/disstrict)
level boundaries using grads??

thanks in advance..

Romero, 
Have you tried just degribbing one field and see if it plots correctly? Then try another and cat them together (remember the order for ctl file). I use wgrib option for -nh (no header).

Hi, 

In a grib file, the fields can be in any order. With a binary file, 
GrADS expects 
the fields to be in a specific order. In grib, a missing field is just 
not there. In 
a binary file, a missing field is an array of missing values. 
It is possible rearrange the order of the grib records and to add the 
missing fields, 
but why?

Subject: Win32 Superpack v2.0.a5-oga.4 released
Message-ID: <THU.9.APR.2009.080220.0400.>

Dear Windows Users,
   We have upload to sourceforge version 2.0.a5-oga.4 the Win32 Superpack:


http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=290254&release_id=674521

(See my previous posting announcing a similar release for Linux to learn
about what is new in this release --- the Windows build has all the features
of the Linux version).  We have now reinstated the automatically Windows
installer (*-win32_superpack.exe) which will optionally set your path and
create an entry in your [Start] menu, placing links on your Desktop. The
[Start] menu entry now also includes links to the bundled HTML
documentation, with Tutorial, User's Guide and Command Index (from COLA),
and "manual pages" for the OpenGrADS extensions. Try out the MERRA and
NOMADS Browsers for a (live) graphical user interface to the MERRA
reanalysis and NOAA forecast data (GFS, NAM, RUC, Wave) through OpenDAP (a
network connection is required).

   As before, we are also including a *-win32_superpack.zip package for
those users who do not have the admin privileges to install software on
their Windows boxes.   The contents are exactly the same as the
*-win32_pack.exe package and are meant to be relocatable: copy the OpenGrADS
directory to a USB mem stick and take it on the road with you. The VBscript
wrappers at the top remain experimental; I'd appreciate any feedback from
people who actually know VBscripting.

   For those experienced cygwin users preferring a light weight distribution
(and willing to set the necessary environment variables), we are again
including tarballs with the binaries and extensions.

  Please any me know of any issues.

  Enjoy!

     Arlindo

Subject: The OpenGrADS project needs your help
Message-ID: <THU.9.APR.2009.081407.0400.>

All,
   The OpenGrADS Project (http://opengrads.org) seeks to develop advanced
interfaces and extensions based on the main GrADS application (
http://grads.iges.org/grads/) developed and maintained by COLA. The
OpenGrADS effort is entirely based on contributions from volunteers in the
community using an opensource development model.

  You do no need to be an experience programmer to contribute to OpenGrADS
(well, experienced programmers are very welcome too.) There are a plenty of
activities such as helping out with documentation or writing recipes for the
Cookbooks

   http://cookbooks.opengrads.org

that do not require advanced programming skills.  Or you could also help out
testing software (or writing unit test code.)

  So, drop us a note at opengrads-devel at lists.sf.net if you would like to
participate.

  Cheers!

    Arlindo

Subject: OpenGrADS Bundle v2.0.a5-oga.4 for Linux/Mac OS
 X/FreeBSD/Unix released
Message-ID: <THU.9.APR.2009.145639.0200.>

Hi Arlindo,

I installed the FreeBSD 7 x64 build on my test machine with no problems (batch mode only).
Also the Windows superpack version is ok for me on a WinXP machine. Tomorrow I'll try on Vista x64.
Unfortunately today I had no time to test the user defined extensions and the re() function, I hope to try next week.
During Easter holidays I'll test the Linux version on the EeePC.

Thank you very much.

Valerio Guerra

If you have a shapefile with your province outline  you could use the
"shape" extension to draw the province outlines for you:

  http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/shape/

GrADS has the ability of drawing strings at arbitrary locations, so you
could write your own script to label the countries/provinces. Check the
User's Guide.

In-Reply-To: <49DDA2DC.6090309@hawaii.edu>
Message-ID: <THU.9.APR.2009.131131.0400.>

The sdfopen code uses the first two time axis values to determine the
start time and increment of the time axis. It uses the udunits library
to convert the initial time axis value into a date format GrADS can
use (integers representing year, month, day, hour, and minute). The
udunits library does not support 365 day calendars, so the initial
date calculated by the library may be wrong. This problem is
particularly noticeable with some IPCC AR4 netcdf files. You can use
xdfopen with a 365-day-calendar netcdf file, as long as you specify
the time axis completely.

Hi,

using GRADS, is it possible to draw cities marker and name on a map, having
the lat/lon (geographical coordinates) and the city name? written into an

Thank you in advance

Hi,
 
As a new OpenGrads user, can someone advise how to find localised minima
and maxima x, y locations and values so that we can plot  High or Low
labels as appropriate on a surface pressure contour chart. 
Finding a single minima or maxima will not help as there are multiple
centres to be labelled on the same chart.
 
Thanks, Athar

I see your point. The "tran" in gxtran is indeed  for "translation", but not
as in  "FORmula TRANslation". Gxtran is an utility to display grads
graphical metafiles. Binary data files written from Fortran can be read by
any grads binary:  grads/gradsdap in v2.0, and
gradsc/gradsnc/gradshdf/gradsdods in previous versions. This recipe shows an
example:

  Good Luck,


       Arlindo

Hi
Simple question:  I'm using Grads 1.9 superpack on Windows.  It appears
there is a max of 20 clevs before the color scale starts not working
anymore and all colored results (clevs or otherwise) become unpredictable
after that threshold.

Anyone else experince this problem and is there a fix?

Thanks

Can you send a reproducer? For example, a simple script that opens the
standard test file (model.ctl, shipped with the superpack).

I've increased the number of colors from 100 to 256 in the latest windows
superpack v2.0.a5.oga.4.  I'd be interested in knowing if you have the same
problem in this version.

I've successfully had over 40 levels without a problem using 1.8, I have
had problems when having decima place increments where typos have caused
problems that took a while to sort out, sometimes incorrectly defined
colours can also lead to troubling issues.

Hi all, 

Thanks so much for your help.? I found my problem. 



I was actually trying to do 2 seperate clevs/ccols disaplys.? The first one had 20+ levels in it as did the second. For some reason they clobbered each other. 



But if I did a?printim betweeen, then issued a 'clear' and did the second ?clevs/ccols, all works fine. And that was my intent all along.? I just forgot to issue the 'clear'. 



Here's a? segment of the script? 


'set gxout shaded' 
'set csmooth on' 

'set clevs 0?? 5? 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 95 105 115 125 135 145' 
'set ccols 96? 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 60 61? 62? 63? 64? 65? 66 66' 

'd 1.943846*mag(ugrd10m,vgrd10m)' 

'run cbarn.gs 0.75 1' 

************************************ 
* Overlay Topo Map 
************************************ 

'printim test.png png -f 'fname'.png x700 y541 white' 
********************************************** 

'clear graphics' 
'set gxout shaded'

You are probably refering to "Gaussian Grids".  This is a special grid that
appears in conjunction with the so-called spectral methods. In a nutshell,
it consists of a uniform longitudinal grid and a non-uniform latitudinal
grid; the latitudinal gridpoints are determined based on the Gaussian
quadrature formulas. For more information, start here:

Subject: Draw cities on a map
Message-ID: <MON.13.APR.2009.210335.0800.>

Dear all,

I tried to follow the instruction of draw cities on a map. I typed these:
ga-> q w2xy 114.1 22.55
X = 5.70783  Y = 4.17181
ga-> x=subwrd(result, 3)

The grads window showed:

Syntax Error:  Invalid Operand
   'subwrd' not a variable or function name
   Error ocurred at column 1
DEFINE error:  Invalid expression.

I checked the information on line: it showed that subwrd is an
intrinsic function, so I should be able to use this function easily.
Why the window showed above message? Have I missed to install some
functions? I have used grads for some time. It seemed to work fine.
What is the problem?

Any help and suggestion is highly appreciated!

Best regards,
Qinglan Li

There is nothing wrong with 'subwrd'
try to use 'query' command and 'subwrd' in a script file instead of
directly typing in,
you will find out they work normally.

Good luck

In the OpenGrADS Bundle v2.0.a5.oga.4, the regridding function re() is
implemented as an "extension" (as it is under Windows. )   You best bet is
to do a bundle installation: untar the Linux distribution and place the
"Contents/" subdirectory in your path and start using it --- that simple.

  If you decide for the "Classic"  (manual) installation method, in order to
enable the OpenGrADS Extensions (needed for the regrid extension re)  you
will need to set two additional environment variables (using
"/usr/local/bin" as an example, replace it with your actual directory name
if you install the binaries elsewhere):

* Bourne shell and variants (sh, bash, ksh, etc.)

  % export GA2UDXT=/usr/local/bin/gex/udxt
  % export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin/gex:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

* C-shell (csh, tcsh):

  % setenv GA2UDXT /usr/local/bin/gex/udxt
  % setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/bin/gex:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Omit the last $LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you do not have this variable
already defined. Also, for Mac OS X the environment variable name is
"DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH". On Windows, the gex/ directory should be added to
your PATH (only needed if not using the Superpack). See the attached INSTALL

file for more detail.

However, I strongly suggest that you do a Bundle Installation instead,
specially because you already using the Windows Superpack. For one, you will
have the documentation for the Extensions at your finger tips:
Contents/Documentation.html.

How much of the User's Guide have you read?

           http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/users.html

I suspect you are entering GrADS scripting syntax at the "ga->" command
line; this is a very common mistake we always make when we are starting with
grads. Review the User's Guide, there is a lot of useful information there.


> I am running grads OPeNDAP
>

There are some guidelines under

   http://grads.iges.org/grads/users.html

for submitting questions to gradsusr. These are important so that we know
exactly which version of the software you are running. For example, "grads
OPeNDAP" does not give us nearly enough information to know what you are
running.



> Additionally, I looked at http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/dods/NCEP_NARR_DAILY/197901/197901/narr-b_221_197901dd_hh00_000.info

The error message "unable to allocate memory" means just that: your computer
is running low on memory. Close some applications or add some more RAM.
There is also some chance that there is a bug in GrADS that is causing it to
tun out of memory. We would need more information in order to diagnose that.


> Finally, I have the CD.

Hmm. CD? Which CD is that?  How am I suppose to know?

As a general rule,  I think it is very important for us to share our
knowledge with new users but there are some basic "Netiquete" rules that we
all need to be attentive to, e.g.,

  http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ia_nq_basics.htm

In particular, "research before you ask" and always review your message
asking yourself: am I providing enough information for someone to be able to
understand and ideally reproduce my problem?

Hi J-P:

It seems to work fine with v2.0.a5.oga.3.  Following Jennifer's message
(02/24/2009):

'set kml wibble'
'set gxout kml'
'd variable'

This gives you two files: wibble.tif and wibble.kml.
You can then edit wibble.kml and change the name of the image file in
the <href> tag to whatever you created with printim.

By default, when you use 'gxout kml' two files are created: grads.kml
and grads.tif. If you use 'set kml fileroot', then the two files will
have the fileroot that you specify -- with a .kml and a .tif appended.
The .kml file will contain an <href> tag that points to the image file
grads.tif. Although it is possible to change this tag to point to
another image file, it is likely that the the georeferencing
information in the .kml file will become incorrect. The image output
from printim is something different from the image output from 'gxout
kml'. The image file created with 'gxout kml' is a grid of colored
pixels -- no map, no borders, no contours, no axis labels. Think of it
as the equivalent of 'gxout fwrite' but instead of writing out
floating point values, it writes out color index numbers. The output
from 'gxout geotiff' is exactly like the output from fwrite, except
that the format is TIFF and it also contains the georeferencing info
along with the grid of floating point data values.

Put your write command in a script, the write function is only in the
scripting language.

As Arlindo pointed out, the protocol is to include the the operating
system you're running on, as well as the output from 'q config' in
your post.

Here is the problem: your Z dimension is set to something that is
inconsistent with this data set, because the dim size given is -999.
Check the output from 'q dims' before you invoke display or define and
make sure you've got all your dimensions set properly.

I would guess that none of these file are directly readable/viewable
with GrADS. Those file extensions don't correspond to any standard
data format that I know of. You'll have to look for more metadata on
your CD to find out what they mean.

Hello,
           ECMWF daily forecast now achieves the maximum and minimum
2 meter surface temperature since last six hours.  The code numbers
of the two variables are 121 and 122.  But both grib2clt.pl and
gribmap don't recognize the variables.  So I can't use grads to plot
out them.  Is there any way to correct it?  Thanks!

Dear Hai-Ru Chang,
I am using CDO or NCO to rename the variable in the grib- or netcdf-file.
Check their homepages:
http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/fileadmin/software/cdo/
or
http://nco.sourceforge.net/

For nco, you have to convert the file first to netcdf, so I would recommend
cdo
eg:
cdo chname,121,tmax input.grb output.grb

Regards,
Heiner

Message-ID: <TUE.14.APR.2009.141416.0400.>

Dear GRADS users:

I am a new user of GRADS.  I installed grads-1.8sl11-win32e.exe. I was
able to create a ctl file from attached grb file.  However I was unable
to create idx file using 'gribmap'.

I entered the following command under dos command line

>gribmap -i grib_file.ctl 

But no idx file was created.  Nothing happened and there was no error
message neither.

I have attached the grb and ctl file.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your kind help!

Hello folks!

Anyone retrieve fields from ERA Interim ?

http://data-portal.ecmwf.int/data/d/interim_daily/

If someone do, can explain to me how exactly the page works?
How they split the time, for example to 6 in 6 hours.
Someone can help me with any information?

Thanks

Hello,
           I have an ensemble forecast output.  Different ensemble
members are stored into different files.  Is there any way to use
template option to access different members in one .ctl file?  Thanks!

Hi,

     wgrib needs updated ecmwf grib tables.  You'll probably find the
fields listed with
the names "var121" and "var122".

I strongly suggest you upgrade to a newer version; recent Windows updates
appear to have broken this old build (ca. 2002).  I'd suggest you get the
win32_superpack v2.0.a5.oga.4:


http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=290254&release_id=674521

Get the .exe package. I just tried it on your test file and it worked just
fine.

Infact.

I replace the names var121 and var122 in this way:

t2m_max  0 121,1,0  ** undefined
t2m_min  0 122,1,0  ** undefined

Bye.

actually I don't remember where my table comes from ... but I send it to
you as it is. I don't use grads for BUFR (grads does not handle, for
what I know, BUFR from ECMWF: then I Hope that this table works for you)
Bye bye

Subject: problem with stnmap?
Message-ID: <WED.15.APR.2009.153746.0200.CMT.METEO@ARPA.VENETO.IT>

You can find this files attached:
1) "config.txt", with the initial standard output from grads and the output from 'q config' (my OS is Linux OpenSuSE)
2) "est", i.e. the c-shell script which should produce the file "staz.map"
3) "log", i.e. the standard output from "est"
4) "RI_200904142100.txt", i.e. the file with raw station data (fixed time)
5) "staz.ctl", i.e. the control file for GrADS
6) "staz.f", i.e. a F77 program writing an intermediate ASCII file with only one parameter extracted from "RI_200904142100.txt"
7) "staz.txt", i.e. the output from "stazf" (compiled binary executable file from staz.f)
8) "staz.c", i.e. a C program starting from "staz.txt" and writing the binary file to be read by GrADS
9) "staz.dat". i.e. the output from "stazc" (compiled binary executable file from staz.c)
Can someone tell me why all that does not produce the map file "staz.map", which should come out from stnmap?
How could I solve my problem?

Thank you all!

the command is: stnmap -i staz.ctl
with grads 1.9 I am using it works: you selected about 55 stations
located in the indian sea

Hello everyone,

There is a way to split dates of a grib? For example:
I have one Grib with 3 mouths of temperature variable , but I wanna to
split this 3 mouths one by one in 6 and 6 hours, how I do that?

Thanks

Hi Vinicius,
I don't understand exactly what you want to do, but I am sure that you can
do it with the climate data operators.
Just google "CDO climate data operators" and you will find them.

Heiner

Hi Christopher,

      The GTECCA CD comes with its own visualization program and NCDC
is reluctant to update the track files because this is an old set of
tracks on a CD that is supposed to run on DOS.  There are also questions
about the validity of a number of cyclone intensification rates among the
events documented there.  (On the other hand, conventional cyclone tracks
that one finds on the web are often based on gridded analyses that don't
always capture the position and intensity of lowest pressure either.)
In any case, tt suffices to say that the binary files you want to examine
aren't meant to be used by Grads, but the CD does display its own files.

Regards,
Rick Danielson

Subject: MFhilo Installation in PCGRADS 1.9 rc1
Message-ID: <WED.15.APR.2009.235531.0200.>

Hello -

I need some help installing libmf.gex (Mike Fiorino`s Collection of GrADS
Extensions).

I'm using grads-1.9.0-rc1 for Win (the zip version not the super pac)

I go to the Wiki page:  http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/libmf/

Which directs me to the download page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?
group_id=161773&package_id=256757&release_id=589460

There are a variety of 6 OS's to choose from - none of which is Windows
based.  So I select the 'Platform Independent' option and download the
gzip tar file.

Upon inspecting it's contents there doesn't appear to be any .dll names
like 'libmf.gex' or  mfhilo....   making me wonder whether I'm in the
right place.

So I inspected my existing GrADS installation:
C:\Program Files\PCGrADS19\win32\gex

I notice the 'gex' directory which has 4 subdirs (c, dods, hdf, nc, nc4)
under it all of which appear to have some user defined functions already
in them (like fish, gxyat, libbjt, re, shape, etc....).

The installation instructions don't seem to jive with my installation (it
appears to target only unix users). Any help would be greatly apreciated.

I know, I could just download Grads version 2.0 and be done with it, but
that would rob me of the experience of actually installing the extension.
I like to learn.

Thanks,
Mark

I am using climate data operators

Assuming that your file consists of 6-hr time steps you can use,
cdo splitsel,1 <ifile>  <out_base>

your file will be spitted for every time step

well, I'm use data of surface, I'm not shure if I understand this comand

"cdo splitsel,1 <ifile>  <out_base>"

I make a download data of surface pressure  in 6 in 6 hours steps ( I
guess) but the file came all together is a one mouth date, and the
file start show in grads first the 00:00 hours of every day of the
mouth , then just after that it start the 6:00 hours of every day,
into the end that will be 18:00, you understand? they came all
together, and I want change for show in grads start one day in 00:00
then show in this same day after the 00:00, the 06:00 hours then 12:00
... , one by one day, you know?

this cdo splitsel works for that? theres is a way to do that?

thanks

Hi there,

Thanks for the link..

I found how to do that after I submit the question...was having problem in
giving the XY coordinates...now the problem is solved and found that XY has
to be screen coordinates..

Dear Experts:

 

I download NARR grb files and extract following subregion:

 

            Lon:     -91.5 (W)         -78.0 (E)

            Lat:      42.5 (North)    32 (South)

 

Variables (tmpprs, hgtprs, ...) within part of the subregion (within the
US) have value of 9.999e+20, which means undefined I believe.  My
question is why it is undefined?  What is the cause?

 

Thanks very much.

Jhih,

I made a regional subset with your parameters and found no missing data.
Perhaps
you entered the parameters incorrectly. The wgrib description of the
grid should
look like,

rec 1:0:date 1979110800 HGT kpds5=7 kpds6=1 kpds7=0 levels=(0,0)
grid=255 sfc anl:
HGT=Geopotential height [gpm]
timerange 0 P1 0 P2 0 TimeU 1 nx 47 ny 47 GDS grid 3 num_in_ave 0 missing 0
center 7 subcenter 15 process 140 Table 131 scan: WE:SN winds(grid)
Lambert Conf: Lat1 32.294000 Lon1 -93.877000 Lov -107.000000
Latin1 50.000000 Latin2 50.000000 LatSP 0.000000 LonSP 0.000000
North Pole (47 x 47) Dx 32.463000 Dy 32.463000 scan 64 mode 136
min/max data 0 1063.25 num bits 14 BDS_Ref 0 DecScale 0 BinScale -3

To plot the field using grads, I modified the control file (xdef and
ydef lines) so it
would show the domain in question.

xdef 28 linear -91.5 0.5 <-- new lines
ydef 22 linear 32 0.5

When I used the new control file, 3 of the corners were undefined.
Nothing wrong
because the command to subset the grid looked for all the grid points
<<within>> the
box in question. Make the box bigger if you want to include the corners.

I'm trying to use mfhilo and am having problems.  Likely a deficiency on
my part. Any help or nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.

I've downloaded and installed GrADS 2.0.a5.oga.4 on Wind XP in an attempt
to get access to mfhilo.  Normal scripts work fine using it.

I've consulted the wiki here: http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/libmf/
and constructed a crude attempt to access the function:

'open file.ctl'
'set lat'
'set long'
'set gxout contour'
'd prmslmsl/100'

no problems so far, then...

 'result = mfhilo (prmslmsl/100) CL,h|l'

    minmax = sublin(result,1)

    say 'minmax = 'minmax

Receive error
Sytax Error:  Invalid operand
'mfhilo' not a variable or function name

Does anyone have a example or some guidance on how to use this function?

hi,
the cdo works perfectly with every time step.
lets assume you have 1 moth surface presure, with 30 days for the sake
of simplicity with 4 time step each. In total 30*4=120 steps
Then with,
cdo splitsel,1 <pressure_file>  <base_file>
the output you get is 120 files with names
base_file000
base_file001
....
base_file120.
The you can use grads for each file individually...
Why you don;t use the time inside the grads script using something like,
set t 1
set t 2
....
set t 120
I think is simpler.

I think I understand now. If I do that (cdo splitsel...) I get the
output split , then if I use in grads it gonna display starting from
00:00 of one day then 6:00 hours of the same day into the end, right?

Thanks a lot for the help, and patience.

Hi, Mark.

I don't have a version of grads with extensions, so I can't confirm this
myself.  However, the doc indicates that mfhilo is a grads command, not
a function.  So, in your script, try simply:
    'mfhilo (prmslmsl/100) CL,h|l'

Hai-Ru and other ECMWF users,

    I just put a beta-version wgrib on-line at
ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wd51we/wgrib/wgrib.c.beta
This version should add the variables 121 and 122 to the control files
as well as many others.

     v1.8.0.12z: 4/09 updated/added ectables: 128, 129, 131, 132, 133,
140, 150, 151, 160, 162, 170, 171, 173, 174, 180, 190, 200, 210, 211, 228

The new tables were generated by a program that pulled the data from the
ECMWF web pages.

Mark,

   The Win32 superpack include the extensions, no need for a separate
download. However, the mfhilo extension is new (too new you may say)  and
has only been released with the opengrads v2.0.a5.oga.x bundles.
Unfortunately, an extension written for v2.0 cannot be used with v1.9
without rebuilding and some adjustments in the source code.

   We are contemplating another (opengrads) v1.x release which has several
bug fixes we collected in the last year or so. At that time we might refresh
the extensions as well.  However, if you can, migrate to v2.0.

Thanks Arlindo, 

Yes - I'm migrating towards V2.0.? The only difference I see is that where one should? explicitly call gradsdods in v 1.9,?that call would result in an error in 2.0.? B ut in it's place on can just call grads directly and it has smarts to branch to the DAP enabled .dll , resulting in one call for either (like 1.8 used to be - if I remember corr etly ). 

Thanks again, 
Mark

Hello - 

I need some help installing libmf.gex (Mike Fiorino`s Collection of GrADS

I'm using grads-1.9.0-rc1 for Win (the zip version not the super pac) 

I go to the Wiki page: ? http://opengrads.org/doc/udxt/libmf/ 

Which directs me to the download page: 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? 
group_id=161773&package_id=256757&release_id=589460 

There are a variety of 6 OS's to choose from - none of which is Windows

gzip tar file. 

Upon inspecting it's contents there doesn't appear to be any .dll names 
like 'libmf.gex' or ?mfhilo.... ? making me wonder whether I'm in the 
right place. 

So I inspected my existing GrADS installation: 
C:\Program Files\PCGrADS19\win32\gex 

I notice the 'gex' directory which has 4 subdirs (c, dods, hdf, nc, nc4) 
under it all of which appear to have some user defined functions already 
in them (like fish, gxyat, libbjt, re, shape, etc....). 

The installation instructions don't seem to jive with my installation (it 
appears to target only unix users). Any help would be greatly apreciated. 

I know, I could just download Grads version 2.0 and be done with it, but 
that would rob me of the experience of actually installing the extension. 
I like to learn. 

Thanks, 
Mark

If it is an ASCII file, it should be easy to open by any text aditor...if
using windows use wordpad or notepad...if using linux nedit or any text
editor came with the linux package should do the job...

The scripting commands cannot be used on the command line. They have to be
written in a file we use to call the grads script file which has the
ANYFILNAME.gs Note that .gs which means a grads script file...You can use
such a script file to type in your usual command line stuff too. And to run
the script just type the name of the file in the grads command line...

Hope this will get you going...

Message-ID: <SAT.18.APR.2009.181304.0200.>

Dear GrADS Usergroup

I am working on a MSG satellite visualisation project at our University. We
already have a lot of ECMWF-Products which are generatet by a GrADS script.

Now we would like to reproduce the same projection with Matlab (Matlab is
our major script language). The problem is: there is just one line wich
defines the current projection with mproj and lat/lon bordervalues.

Now my problem: if i am right GrADS use a standard projection point. I
searched a lot in the internet but cannot find any proper solvements. There
is just this (http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetmproj.html) =).

Does anyone has some hints and tips about the (standard) used radius and
projection-point in GrADS?

Thanks a lot
Best wishes

No, there is only one binary in the opengrads builds of v2.0: grads.exe. It
can handle all the formats, thanks to a new NetCDF-4 library. COLA's builds
still have 2 binaries: grads and gradsdap. The gradsdap.exe that you find in
there is just a cover, it is the same code as grads.exe.

dear reto,

i'm a bit confused about 'ecmwf-products' generated with grads... are
these products plots?

the key thing to remember is there are two (really three) projections in
grads.  for plots or what is displayed on the screen, it is the 'display
projection' which is controlled by 'set mproj'.  the display project can
be be (very) different than the "data projection", e.g., data on a
uniform lat/lon grid but displayed on an orthographic (satellite)
projection...

if your question is about the display projection, then you'd have to
consult the source code for precise details, specifically in gxwmap.c

the relevant code from gxwmap.c for north polar stereographic is below,
but also consult:

http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/map.html

If I am trying to issue it on da -> mfhilo 

it says unknown command mfhilo.

 

Please explain me step by step what I need to do to make it run on

You can create GrADS images larger than 8x11.  For example, control pixel 
size (and thus image size) with xNNN and yNNN in the printim command.  See

Subject: Possible PrintIM Bug in GrADS 2.0 (PC Version)
Message-ID: <WED.22.APR.2009.211659.0200.>

Hello,
I noticed some strange behavior in the 'printim' function in Open Grads
ver 2.0.a5.oga.4 for Windows in batch mode.

When invoking the 'background' option (-b), it does not work. No output is
produced and no error is displayed. The script appears to run to
completion but no printed output is produced.

The 'foreground' (-f) option works fine.

I wrote a basic script to duplicate this problem, and switch the path
between GrADS 1.9 and 2.0.  Everything runs fine in 1.9, but not so much
in 2.0.

Looking at the Documentation Index, it does not appear that there is any
functionailty change between the 2 versions with regards to the -b option.

I can provide the script and supporting files if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
Mark

Short answer: no.

Longer answer:   the chdir() function is a very needed functionality in
grads; I've been thinking about implementing it as an opengrads extension
(along with other POSIX functionality). Having that command, you can create
a simple GAGUI button to run chdir().

I have station data of tropical cyclone best track lat, lon, vmax, and
mean sea level pressure. Each point varies in time.
Is it possible to draw a line connecting each point and a circle at each
station location?
It looks like:
set gxout stnmark will plot the circles, but is there an easy way to
draw a line in between each circle?
I looked at set cmark but that didn't seem to have an option to do this.
Thank you very much,

Hello Isabel,

As a last resource, you can create a .ctl description file where you can "map"
the original variable names to an alias.

For example, I have a HDF file with a var named "0.5 deg monthly EVI".
I handled
it by creating an alias for it in the corresponding .ctl file. The
entry was as
follow:

VARS 7
0.5~deg~monthly~EVI=>evi 0 y,x EVI
:
ENDVARS

You can read more on the GrADS .ctl file section
(http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/descriptorfile.html#VARS)

Regards,
Ramon

Howard - I found a routine that allowed you to draw lines manually between
stations by pointing and clicking on the plot. I honestly can't remember
where I got it from, but it works very well, so here it is: and apologies
for not acknowledging the author, I found this on the web last year and
don't have my notes on where it came from.

Do your plot in GrADS, then run this script from the ga-> prompt. You can
click on a sequence of stations, then click near the bottom of the screen to
finish drawing that line. To draw another line, run the script again. Set
your line attributes as required.


*  "connects the dots" -- while user points and clicks,
*  this script connects the points with a line using the
*  current line attributes.  User must point and click
*  near the bottom of the screen to quit.
*
say 'Click near bottom of the screen to quit'
'query bpos'
xold = subwrd(result,3)
yold = subwrd(result,4)
while (1)
  'query bpos'
  x = subwrd(result,3)
  y = subwrd(result,4)
  if (y<'0.5'); break; endif;
  'draw line 'xold' 'yold' 'x' 'y
  xold = x
  yold = y
endwhile

Subject: step by step installation of eof in grads (2009)
Message-ID: <MON.27.APR.2009.161245.0200.>

if you are using linux 32bit OS

download   PC(i386) Linux (32bit) from
http://www.atmos.ucla.edu/~munnich/Grads/EOF/

open teminal then gedit .bashrc (your bash file)

your gradspath(where grads is installed) may be (eg: /home/alice/grads )


export GRADS="/home/your_home/grads"
export GADDIR="/home/your_home/grads/data"
export GASCRP="/home/your_home/grads/lib"
PATH=${PATH}:$GRADS/bin

put the following line

export GAUDFT="/home/your_home/grads/udft.txt"

then it will become

export GRADS="/home/your_home/grads"
export GADDIR="/home/your_home/grads/data"
export GASCRP="/home/your_home/grads/lib"
export GAUDFT="/home/your_home/grads/udft.txt"
PATH=${PATH}:$GRADS/bin

before the last line ( that is PATH=${PATH}:$GRADS/bin)

save and exit bashrc

then copy the eofudf file from the extracted directory to your grads folder.

then create a blank file called udft.txt inside your grads folder. then add
the following lines to it

eofudf 2 6 expr value value value value char
sequential
/your/path/to/eofudf <-- Your path to the eofudf executable
eofudf.in
eofudf.out

here set the /your/path/to/eofudf as /home/your_home/grads/eofudf (where you
have copied eofudf)
then it will become excatly in format(dont change the order)

eofudf 2 6 expr value value value value char
sequential
/home/your_home/grads/eofudf
eofudf.in
eofudf.out

then as root copy the library file libcxa.so.3 to /usr/lib
from treminal from the extracted folder (ie: cp libcxa,s0.3 /usr/lib)
go to /usr/lib and  change its permission with chmod (ie chmod 777 libcxa.so.3)

now exit from root

either open a new terminal otherwise in current terminal give command:
source /home/your_home/.bashrc

now open grads and open your data. then type command: q udft
if it is properly installed it will give somthing like

eofudf  Args: 2 6  Exec: /home/your_home/grads/eofudf

done...........................

now set you time (eg: set t 1 20)

set your lat and lon

then type eof your_variable

it will display and create some output files as ctl and data files.

Enjoyyyyyyyy.......(help others)

Use the 'set lfcols' command to set the colors used by gxout linefill.

For example,

set lfcols 2 4
set gxout linefill
d v-(ave(v,t=1,t=61)); const(v,0)

Thanks. That will be useful Tess.
I actually found that my points were so close together that they look
like a line anyway.
So, that is another method: just interpolate your points to be close
enough so they look like a line.

Thank your for these instructions. Please specify the GrADS version you are
using. These instructions only apply to GrADS v1.x as GrADS v2.0 does not
support classic UDFs.

Alternatives for EOF in GrADS v2.0 include pygrads

        http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=Python_Interface_to_GrADS

There is also the possibility of implementing this EOF package as an
OpenGrADS extension. Any volunteers? I can walk you through the necessary
steps.

Hi Remi:

You can add symbols (or change to other fonts) by preceding the text
with a ` and then the font number, e.g.:

"draw title f = `3b`1V = 1/ `3r 7*t"

The `3 indicates font number 3 is desired, and all subsequent text will
be in that font.  I then switch back to font 1, then back to 3.  There
are 5 fonts to choose from (numbered 0 to 4).  I've attached a little
script that will plot all the characters of a given font (specified in line
3).  Hope this helps,

Subject: define independant data set
Message-ID: <WED.29.APR.2009.163019.0100.>

Hello,

this is an odd question:

can one define a data set in grads independent from any external data
set?

How do you:

define x='1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9'
define y=x*x

d y

and get an y ver. x  line plot ?


The background:

I compiled event statistics by mask and const,
count some numbers at individual grid points,
constructed a curve, or at least the vector for it
and now I want to plot it.

I can draw a line, scaling the numbers to the plot window.
That looks really bland.
I also like to get appropriate axis and other nice bits.

Any ideas how to do that?

t = 0
sum = 1
scalex  =  6.5/32.
scaley  =  5.5/1.
xstr=''
ystr=''
linestr=''
while ( t <= 32       )
    xstr= xstr ' '     t ' '
    ystr= ystr ' ' cdf.t ' '

    xx  = 1 + t* scalex
    yy  = 1 + cdf.t* scaley
    linestr= linestr' ' xx ', ' yy   ', '

    t = t + 1
endwhile

* plot cdf

say         linestr
'draw line 'linestr

cdf.t are numbers [ 1, 0 ] over 32 steps.

Subject: ERA-Interim and regrid2 v. xdef/ydef
Message-ID: <WED.29.APR.2009.190513.0200.>

I have been using the ERA-Interim dataset, and after running it through grib2ctl I get control files
that work, but do not include any sort of PDEF specification.  I am ultimately interested in
interpolating the 1.5 degree grid on the ERA-Interim to a higher resolution.  I have heard of two
methods to do this.  One is to use the regrid2 function, but since I am computer illiterate and the
other option is quite easy, I am avoiding that.  It seems possible to change the xdef and ydef
specifications in the ctl file to interpolate to the higher resolution to begin with.  All you would need
to change is the # of grid points and the increment.  This has worked for others but not for me, and I
suspect it may be due to the lack of PDEF.  Is this method legitimate? If so, anyone know the ERA-
Interim projection specs for PDEF?

You can't do that - the number of grid points tells grads how to read
the data.

You can imagine if you had one degree data, you would tell it there were
360 points in the x direction. If you still had the same dataset and
told it you had 720 points at 0.5 degree resolution, basically what it
would do is read rows 1 and 2 and think that it was all data belonging
to row 1. You have to regrid the data yourself.

Bernd,

One idea is to try ftp://grads.iges.org/grads/examples/xyplot.gs
which does a plot of "y" vs. "x"

Subject: ERA-Interim and regrid2 v. xdef/ydef
In-Reply-To: <20090429170618.1CCB720BDA@mx2.cineca.it>
Message-ID: <WED.29.APR.2009.191142.0000.>

dear matt,

the pdef option is generally used for grids where lat/lon are *not*
univariate or the # of points in longitude varies with say latitude
(e.g., reduced gaussian grid).  it is possible to force grads to treat
the uniform 1.5 deg lat/lon grid as preprojected by creating a pdef file
with the interpolation coefficients.  see:

http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/pdef.html#file

this is clearly more complicated and NOT easier than using a regridding
function.

i have to say i'm a bit concerned that a reason you wouldn't want to use
regrid2 is because you're 'computer illiterate'.  that strikes me as a
bit irresponsible; that you would blindly accept the result from an
internal grads interpolation?

you'll have to do a little work to either get a version of grads with
regrid2 already built in; build it yourself; and then understand what
the code is actually doing if you want to understand the nature of the
regridded era data...  for example, if you want to regrid the 1.5 deg
era data to higher resolution, then you should use either bilinear or
3rd order bessel interpolation if the field is continuous (e.g.,
pressure), but for
less-continuous fields like precipitation, box averaging would be more
appropriate.  all these methods are implemented in regrid2, but you have
to be careful in which method you use.

fortunately, the technical issue of using regrid2 should be less
burdensome as i have converted my regrid2 'user defined function' into
an opengrads 'user defined extension'.  the extension now works in both
opengrads 1.10 and opengrads 2.0.  the opengrads version is called 're2'
and works like the original regrid2 except for a few bugs i found in the
original regrid2.f code so that re2 is actually more correct than
regrid2....

i'm finishing up some other extensions (e.g., mfhilo - for finding
max/min in a 2-d field) and i'm now checking that they work in both
opengrads 1.10 and 2.0.  i expect to get these into the opengrads
distributions 1.10 and 2.0 shortly, but in the meantime re2 is available
the opengrads2.0 bundles at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=305032

the re2 in these bundles is not 100% the same as the one i'm working
now, but the algorithms are correct so that you can use with
confidence that it's working the way i intended.

hope this helps, but remember it's always important to state precisely
which version of grads you're using...

regards, mike

The white lines are displayed only on the computer screen.
If you print it out, you won't see them.

The white lines are an artifact of the way your PDF-viewer
renders the PDF file on your screen.  Very often, PDF viewers
use the "anti-aliasing" technique to smooth the edges of
shapes, which generates the white lines because each
color-shaded area of GrADS is actually a collection
of smaller polygons.

So, if you need a clean-looking plot on your screen,
you want to turn off the "anti alias" option of your
viewer.  If you use the latest version of Adobe Reader
(version 9) for example, the option is

   "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Page Display" > "Smooth line art"

I guess other viewers have similar options.

Regards,
Ryo

As Ryo pointed out, turning off anti-aliasing removes those lines, but the
font quality degrades. For PS/PDF files this is not a problem when you
produce a hardcopy.  When creating images the opengrads extension gxyat has
anti-aliased fonts and no "funny lines",

ga-> gxyat myfile.png

or  from the command line on an existing metafile:

% gxyat  myfile.gmf

Has anyone out there used GrADS to retrieve and display data from the HYCOM OPeNDAP near real-time data server http://hycom.coaps.fsu.edu/thredds/dodsC/glb_nrt_analysis.html?  

I am hoping to use GrADS to retrieve mixed layer depth data from this server, but not real clear on the http/OPeNDAP string I would use to download the file (whether it be ASCII or binary).  If you have done this and could send a sample script or command showing the http line that would be much appreciated. 

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark:

You should just be able to use the OPeNDAP enabled GrADS binary (e.g.,
gradsdods), then
'sdfopen http://hycom.coaps.fsu.edu:8080/thredds/dodsC/glb_nrt_analysis'

However, I tried this with grads-1.9.0-rc1 (gradsdods) and get the error
that the data set has
no discernable X coordinate.  This is a problem that needs to be solved
on the server side as
far as I know.

Interestingly, I tried grads-2.0.a5.oga.4 (grads) and got a whole stream
of error messsages
(see below) followed by GrADS exiting.

Both versions work well on more "well-behaved" OPeNDAP data sets.

Subject: Using GrADS to retrieve HYCOM data
In-Reply-To: <89820B016571404EA755EE83F53BD13E@sailfish>

The full HYCOM data is on a curvilinear grid that I haven't been able to
make work in grads. They set up a linear grid for grads users by cutting
off pre-gridded section above 48 degrees north.

http://hycom.coaps.fsu.edu/opendap/nph-dods/datasets/hycom/global/GLBa0.08_rect/data/

The update schedule is a bit irregular and the server is not alway up,
but nice data when it is there.

If anyone has the curvilinear grid version working in grads, any tips
would be nice.
