<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my name is Mantas, I'm doing my PhD in wind power
prediction and I am trying to use Grads to decode HIRLAM grib to ASCII. I need
wind components from a limited number of grid points from one level, say level
60. I have found that "wgrib" is capable to do that, but it extracts data from
all the grid points, which then I have to cut out with
Matlab. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also I have tried "gribmap": I have set the
<STRONG>lat</STRONG> and <STRONG>lon</STRONG> and <STRONG>lev</STRONG>, then I
used "set gxout print", but the resulting data was on the GRADS window, not in
the file. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried "set gxout fwrite", but the output
format is binary. Could anyone tell me, how can I get wind components from
certain <STRONG>lat</STRONG> and <STRONG>lon</STRONG> in an output ASCII file? I
would appreciate your help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sincerely,</FONT></DIV>
