[gradsusr] Plotting a NEXRAD netCDF file

[Andrew Friedman]

Hi Sytske,

In your script you have 2 plot settings right after each other:

'set gxout grfill'
'set gxout shaded'

I believe the second one overrides the first. Try commenting it out to see what the grfill plot looks like.

Also, you could try changing the shaded plot setting to the higher-resoluttion algorithm:
'set gxout shade2b'

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.
