<DIV><PRE style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">I have data sets which begin at 13z each day and
contain hourly data for 24 hours..
ie.,
1jan07.dat (contains data from 13z1jan - 12z2jan)
2jan07.dat
...
31jan07.dat
I have discovered that using the following lines in
the control file...
^%d1jan07.dat
options template
TDEF 744 13:00z1jan2007 1hr
produces a bigtime mistake.
It plot the first 11 hours of data correctly (ie.,
13z-23z) but when it gets to 00z on 2jan it plots 13z
on the 2nd. Basically it skips the last 13 hours of
each file.
When i use:
TDEF 744 00:00z1jan2007 1hr
it will plot the data correctly albeit with the wrong
times.
Is this a bug in GrADS?
