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,
Sytske

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
error for one of the first commands.

'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.
