[gradsusr] Wrf output in GrADS

[Nick Heath]

Jeff and Yaqiang,

Thanks for the ideas.  Unfortunately, I still haven't found a solution.  I have figured out a little more about the problem, I think.  It appears that it is the "standard" variables that look odd.  If I display the umet and vmet diagnostic variables, they look great.  But, if I display the standard U and V variables, they look just like W did.  

As you suspected Jeff, I don't need many variables, actually only the U,V, and W wind components.  But, even when just running ARWpost with the 'basic' fields option the variables look crazy.  Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Nick
