[gradsusr] Opening daily and monthly data together?

[Eric Altshuler]

Myeong,

If you're only looking at monthly data, the 365_day_calendar option will have no effect on the analysis.

The 365_day_calendar option is needed for monthly data if you want to open the monthly dataset at the same time as you have opened a daily dataset that uses the 365 day calendar. This is because grads will not allow multiple calendars to be in effect during the same grads session. Either all open datasets have to use the regular calendar, or they all have to use the 365 day calendar. This also means that if you want to open other monthly datasets that don't have the 365_day_calendar option in their ctl files, you should not have it in your ctl file for this dataset. You could even keep two ctl files for the monthly data, one with the 365_day_calendar option and the other without it.

Hi all

Is it possible to open daily and monthly data together in Grads?
There is error like
"Attempt to change the global calendar...
The calendar is NOW STANDARD and you attempted to open a 365-day 
calendar file"
Is there any way to use both together?

Myeong
