The grid in model.ctl is very coarse. When you request a latitude or longitude that does not exactly match the center of a grid point, it sets the dimension to the lat/lon closest to your request. The message it returns is to let you know what that lat/lon actually is.

If you issue a 'q file' command, GrADS will show you the list of variables in your file. Is 'z' in that list?
