[gradsusr] using GrADS to extract NetCDF data

[David Bryan]

I'm new to GrADS and have a simple question.

I need to extract a limited amount of data--a few parameters and specific grid 
points--from rich netcdf data sets (WRF output).  Is GrADS the right tool for 
that?  I thought it was, but after reading the "Basic Concepts of Operation" in 
the Users Guide, I got the impression that GrADS is only a visualization tool.  
If GrADS is right for the job, could you suggest the function/section to examine 
on this matter?  If it's not, I would welcome any other suggestions.

Thanks,
David
