[gradsusr] Getting SREF Probability Variables To Plot In GrADS

Wed Jun 4 20:46:10 EDT 2014

Hi Jennifer,

I just went back and fixed those variables in the control file.

Here's the output from gribmap -v:

1.1: lev1=1,0 a1,1.27 var=0,1,8,1 MATCH
2.1: lev1=1,0 a1,12.7 var=0,1,8,1 MATCH
3.1: lev1=1,0 a1,0.25 var=0,1,8,1 valid time 2014060606:00 (t=7.5) has non-integer grid index
4.1: lev1=1,0 a1,38.1 var=0,1,8,1 valid time 2014060612:00 (t=8.5) has non-integer grid index
5.1: lev1=1,0 a1,2.54 var=0,1,8,1 valid time 2014060700:00 (t=10.5) is outside grid limits
6.1: lev1=1,0 a1,101.6 var=0,1,8,1 valid time 2014060709:00 (t=12) is outside grid limits
7.1: lev1=1,0 a1,12.7 var=0,1,8,1 valid time 2014060721:00 (t=14) is outside grid limits

Looks like variables 5-7 are giving me issues, possibly THE issue?

Hi, Aaron --
You don't need the alias syntax with grib data. The var1.1 syntax is just a dummy variable name that is designed to be unique to the record. You can use use "p1" instead of "var1.1=>p1".

What is the output from gribmap -v?

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:

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.
