[gradsusr] ERA-40 NC template

[Ricardo Hallak]

Hi Jose, how are you?

In your .ctl:
tdef says you have monthly data (36 time steps, 1mo increment).
dset says you have annual data (only %y4). 
So, if you have annual files, the time increment must be 1yr. On the other
hand, if you have monthly files, dset must be "data_%y4%m2.nc".

Saudações,
Hallak
