[gradsusr] sdfwrite question

[Jennifer Adams]

Hi, Andrew -- 
Sorry I forgot to reply to this the first time you asked … GrADS assumes you would want coordinate values written out in double, so the -flt option only applies to the data variables. The lat/lon variables are not especially large, so I can't imagine it would drastically change your file size to convert them to floats, but you could probably do it with one of the netcdf operators; I bet ncks will convert them, or if your file isn't too big you could do it with an ncdump-->edit the output-->ncgen.
