Hi, 

Below is my header file for the file, "gdaps_anal_768_2018050100.nc".

I opened them successfully in other platforms including all variables (e.g. u, v, theta, temp) but in GrADS only u is being shown. The other variables are being left out.

netcdf file:/G:/gdaps_anal_768_2018050100.nc {
  dimensions:
    longitude = 1536;
    latitude = 1152;
    hybrid_ht = 1;
    t = UNLIMITED;   // (1 currently)
    longitude_1 = 1536;
    latitude_1 = 1153;
    hybrid_ht_1 = 1;
    surface = 1;
  variables:
    float u(t=1, hybrid_ht=1, latitude=1152, longitude=1536);

}


The descriptor file I used is the following:

dset ^gdaps_anal_768_2018050100.nc
dtype netcdf
undef 2.0E20f_missing_value
xdef 1536 linear 0 360
ydef 1152 linear -90 90
tdef 1 linear 00Z01MAY2018 1
edef 1 linear 1 1
vars 3
u 1 t,z,y,x Westerly component of wind  u
v 1 t,z,y,x Easterly component of wind  v 
t 1 t,z,y,x Temperature T
endvars

The error says gadxdf error: Missing or invalid dimension size. I am guessing the error is the xdef and ydef. Can you help me on this?

Thanks.

Yours,
Joseph Basconcillo
