New Documentation for the Ensemble Dimension

[Lemmy]

Hi Jennifer,

I have gone through the instructions of using ensemble dimension but somehow my data files are not opened properly.

Here are the ensemble of 11 data files I have:

mmm00.dat
mmm01.dat
.....
mmm11.dat

Here is my ctl file:

DSET ^mmm%e2.dat
OPTIONS template
TITLE etkf
UNDEF -99999
XDEF  51 linear 0  2.5
YDEF  21 linear 0  2.5
ZDEF  1   linear 0 1
TDEF  500  linear 00z01apr99 3hr
EDEF  11 names 1 2 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
vars 1
s 1 99 height
endvars

and here is the result:

Scanning description file:  baro.ctl
Data file mmm%e2.dat is open as file 1

I would expect it to open mmm01.dat,...., but it plainly opened just mmm%e2.dat. What surprised me further is that although the file mmm%e2.dat does not exist, the X-window is still popped up as if it works. I appreciate your any help very much.

Lemmy

Hi, Everyone --
I have added a new section to the User's Guide that explains how the
ensemble dimension has been implemented in GrADS 2.0. Additional
topics include how to create a descriptor file for an ensemble data
set, how to organize your data using templating, special
considerations for certain data formats, and some examples (with
illustrations!) using real data.

Real time NCEP GFS Ensemble forecasts are behind our GDS at
http://monsoondata.org:9090/dods/gfsens/
Why not take a moment to fire up 'gradsdap', use 'sdfopen' to
access
the latest forecast, and start playing with ensemble data. It's cool!
