Jeff Duda:

Thanks for your response.

So I tried 3 things:

1)
set LON 320 25
and got the following error and the same plot from the previous email
appeared:
Operation error:  Invalid dimension environment
  Min longitude > max longitude: 320 25
DRAW error: Syntax is DRAW STRING x y string

2) set LON 0 360
the entire area chosen for plotting was shaded.
See attachment
At the fourth iteration the code went to a segmentation fault.
Because of the segmentation fault I was unable to execute the q dims
command afterwards

However upon opening the test.ctl in a new grads section I got the
following:
LON set to 315.172 29.8276
LAT set to -22.1706 22.1706
LEV set to 1 1
Time values set: 2010:4:8:0 2010:4:8:0
E set to 1 1

What could be done to alleviate this isue?

I know the model domain is correct. See the second attached figure plotted
for quick look with ncview.
