[gradsusr] Plotting a NEXRAD netCDF file

Dear GrADS users,

I (finally) managed to plot a NEXRAD radar reflectivity fil, in netCDF
format, using GrADS. The plot is attached (IdaRadar-test.png) as is the
original radar image for the same area, displayed using GRLevelII
(RadarLevel2.png). I can't figure out why the resolution on the GrADS image
is so much worse than on the original image. The script is also attached.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Sytske
