[gradsusr] Getting SREF Probability Variables To Plot In GrADS

[Perry, Aaron @ LSC]

I took a look at the suggestion documentation and ran grib2scan. Below is a copy/paste link of the output. After reviewing the output, I was able to come up with this modified control file:

grib2scan Output: http://paste2.org/zE92be26

Modified Control File (Not working):

ENDVARS

Unfortunately, I am still receiving the "Cannot Contour Grid/Data Request Warning" errors. None of the variables will plot.

Aaron,
Have a look at the doc page on descriptor file elements, under 'vars' and then 'additional codes'.  grib2scan in verbose mode should give you a suitable entry for the descriptor file.

Good Morning All,

I've followed the steps that were outlined in this post (http://gradsusr.org/pipermail/gradsusr/2011-November/031529.html) a while back regarding getting SREF probabilities to plot in GrADS. I keep getting the "Cannot contour grid/data request" error and I was wondering if someone might know of solution.
