<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and looking for stngrads for details. After
download the source code and type "make" to compile the source code. But you
have to swap 1) the stationID and timeID, and 2) lat and lon for your data
the change your data format slightly.</FONT></DIV>
