[gradsusr] Problem displaying a variable?

[Rashed Mahmood]

Dear John
  Thanks
It is not a forecast file. 192 time steps are the decadal climatologies for
12 months. It means that aerosols are averaged decadely for each month of a
year. it starts like from 1950s and ends for 2000.
for information the ctlinfo file has been attached in .bmp format since
I could not copy the information in the GrADS version 2.5.

Regards
Rashed
