How to make 3-D plots in GrADS

[sushant puranik]

Thank you for suggestion.
I wish to find the structure of a jet stream in 3-D. I have ECMWF
1.5x1.5 data and also NCEP 2.5 x 2.5 data of u and v wind component.
I tried to find the level of maximum wind with the help of maxloc(...)
and max(....) command. But the plots are 2-D which does not reflect
the plot in easy to understand form. Because of which i wish to make
3-D plot.


Thank you for suggestion i will looking forward for more suggestions.
