[gradsusr] Error in opening NetCDF file

[sudev das M P]

Hai All,

I have a NetCDF data file "evapr_oaflux_1958.nc".

I got it from the following link:
http://dss.ucar.edu/dsszone/ds260.1/index.html?g=2#MONTHLY-TURBULENCE

While I  am trying to open this file in GrADS I am getting following
message.

*****************************************************************
ga-> sdfopen evapr_oaflux_1958.nc
Scanning self-describing file:  evapr_oaflux_1958.nc
gadsdf: SDF file has no discernable X coordinate.
*****************************************************************
Since it is showing "SDF file has no discernable X coordinate", I made a
descriptor file

and tried to open it using "xdfopen" command.

*****************************************************
DSET ^evapr_oaflux_1958.nc
XDEF 360 linear 0.5 1.0
******************************************************

This time too I got an error message.

************************************************************
ga-> xdfopen evapr_oaflux_1958.ctl
Scanning Descriptor File:  evapr_oaflux_1958.ctl
gadxdf error: Missing or invalid dimension size.
  --> The invalid description file record is:
  --> xdef 360 linear 0.5 1.0
  The data file was not opened.
*************************************************************

Please tell me how to fix this problem. Hope someone will

give me a reply.

Thanking You,
Sudev.
