Dear All,
Respect and Regards
I am interested in calculating water vapor budget and flux for a certain region. Can any one please share their precious expertise and suggest some Grads/Matlab script to do so.
Much thanks in Advance

Dear Sir,I deeply regret to inform you that my yahoo mail account was hacked on 5 Sep, 18.I am finding it extremely hard to cope up with the bad situation.All the replies received to my mails sent from my yahoo account (rokkamrr at yahoo.com) after 5 Sep are now directed to rokkamrr at hotmail.com - the new account created by the hacker on 5 Sep without my knowledge.Can you please help on the following:i) Arrange to redirect all the mails received after 5 Sep, 18 on rokkamrr at hotmail.com to rokkamrr at yahoo.comii) Close rokkamrr at hotmail.com accountiii) Set right all the disruptions made by the hacker on rokkamrr at yahoo.com
I would be most grateful to you for your kind help in this regard.Thank you,Rokkam R Rao27 Sep, 18

Just a guess: The error might be due to
dF_toa=>p1 1 t,x,y,e p1
and
double dF_toa(dX, sw_lw, up_down, all_clear, hour, latitude, longitude, time) ;
array shape/size mismatch.. ?

177.5 ;
hour = 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 ;
}
I cannot directly open the NetCDF file using the command "sdfopen", with the following error message:
ga-> sdfopen CldAll.nc
Scanning self-describing file: CldAll.nc
gadsdf: SDF file has no discernable X coordinate.
To open this file with GrADS, use a descriptor file with an XDEF entry.
Documentation is at [ http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/SDFdescriptorfile.html | http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/SDFdescriptorfile.html ]
In order to open the NetCDF file, I need to write a GrADS data descriptor (.ctl) file for it. Here I only need to extract the sw (Shortwave) and lw (Longwave) components of "dF_toa". My current .ctl file reads:
dset ^CldAll.nc
title test
dtype netcdf
UNDEF -9999.
options yrev
xdef 72 linear -177.5 5.0
ydef 90 linear -89 2
zdef 1 linear 1 1
tdef 8 linear 0z1jan2001 3hr
edef 2 names sw lw
vars 1
dF_toa=>p1 1 t,x,y,e p1
endvars
It apparently does not work ? see below for the error message:
ga-> open aa.ctl
Scanning description file: aa.ctl
Data file CldAll.nc is open as file 1
LON set to 0 360
LAT set to -89 89
LEV set to 1 1
Time values set: 2001:1:1:0 2001:1:1:0
E set to 1 1
ga-> d p1
gancgrid error: nc_get_vara_double failed; NetCDF: Start+count exceeds dimension bound
Data Request Error: Error for variable 'p1'
Error ocurred at column 1
DISPLAY error: Invalid expression
Expression = p1
Any suggestions on how to write the .ctl file are much appreciated!
Thanks,
Hailan
