<p><font size="2">Dear Jayakrishnan,</font></p>
<p><font size="2">By using your files, I can plot the station color mark successfully. I am not familar with "oacres" function either. So I have to find the details in the GrADS documentation and try it. If I get the answer, I will let you know ASAP. Thanks for your kind assistance so much.</font></p>

<br />> Dear Dai,
<br />> I have tried with the data you supplied with lat lon and climatological value and was successful in plotting the station plots using grads station data. I herewith attaches the text files, Fortran program, C program, ctl file, gs file and the plot I could get using your data.
<br />> This is the first step to plot the contour I think. To plot the contours you willl have to use the 'oacres' function as suggested by Jerry in the previous mail. Till now I am not familiarised with oacres. If you got the answer kindly let me know. But I know how to use oacres. refer grads documentation for details.
<br />> First you run the climread.f. The output of climread.f is used as the input of c program clim.c. Then the binary output is incorperated with clim.ctl.
<br />> Hope this helps.
<br />> Sincerely
