[gradsusr] Writing Descriptor File for SSHA NetCDF Data

[James T. Potemra]

Hi Jennifer,

It sounds like you have level 2, along-track data.  Have you checked 
with NASA/PO.DAAC for lat/lon gridded data in netCDF 
(http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/datasetlist?ids=Measurement&values=Sea+Surface+Topography)?
