[gradsusr] gradsusr Digest, Vol 24, Issue 37

Thank you very much to Jayakrishnan. I did install cdo and tried it on
a completely different file and it works perfect. Thanks at least I
have something new to use.
However it looks like the WRF output files are written in a different
Netcdf format. Below is the error I get with cdo.

Thank you very much for your time and for something new I have learnt
Zilore
