display hgt.200812.nc

[Emily]

Hi Ebrahim,

The hgt.200812.nc is another kind of data set, 8 times per day. It is a pre-projection format, so I can not open it use sdfopen.

Regards,

Emily

Hi Emily,If your data is netCDF, why don't you use sdfopen without .ddf or .ctl file:
'reinit''open d:\gradsfile\ncdata\hgt.200812.nc'

'set grads off''set grid off'
'set lon 220 310'
'set lat 20 60'


'set lev 500'
'set time 09z28dec2008'
'd hgt'

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:

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.
