[gradsusr] HRAP precipitation grid

[Maue, Ryan]

?Works perfectly Jennifer,


There are seemingly few sources of real-time and recent precipitation data -- glad to be able to use GrADS to visualize it.

Hi, Ryan --
I subtracted hrap.xor from 401 and hrap.yor from 1601 and now it seems to fit with this PDEF:
pdef 1051 813 nps 388 1591 -105.000000 4.7625
xdef 1500 linear -135 0.05
ydef 700 linear 20 0.05

Note the new XDEF and YDEF axes do not need to match the size of the original grid; I used 0.05 degrees as a grid increment which kind of matches the native grid size, and made the axes big enough to cover the whole domain:

Greetings,

Does anyone have a control file handy for the netcdf files that are provided by NWS AHPS?  My control file is a little bit off.  The grid is the HRAP 4 km polar stereographic.

Any help or guidance would be great!

I've uploaded an example here as well as the ascii output from the conversion program:
