Hi group members,

I face a problem when I display 500 hpa geopotential height chart, it shows wrong data.

My gs file is:
'reinit'
'open d:\gradsfile\ncdata\hgt200812.ddf'
'set grads off'

'set grid off'
'set lon 220 310'
'set lat 20 60'
'set lev 500'
'set time 09z28dec2008'
'd hgt'
====================
My ddf is as below:
DSET d:\gradsfile\ncdata\hgt.200812.nc

DTYPE netcdf
TITLE NARR 4D field Lambert Conformal Conic projection
UNDEF 32766 missing_value
UNPACK scale_factor add_offset

vars 3
hgt 29 t,z,y,x  geopotential_height
lat=>glat 0 y,x Latitude
lon=>glon 0 y,x Longitude
endvars
=============
My grads version: Grads 2.0 a3,
window xp

I notice that the contours laber values are like -25900, -25800..... I think the value is wrong. Then I check ncdump information, the hgt value from ncdump also shows like -25900,.....


Is there some one knowing what wrong with this?Thanks very much.
