<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am downloading a grib file and processing it
through my script. It all works great. I have since discovered that I can avoid
the 34mb download by using gradsdods and opening up a server url e.g. <A
href="http://nomad5.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/waves/nww3/nww320080206/nww3_18z">http://nomad5.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/waves/nww3/nww320080206/nww3_18z</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can run my script over this successfully however
it is painfully slow. I am retrieving all the variables over 180hr for a
specified lat/lon grid point.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A little bit of investigation tells me that I
should be downloading a subset of the data to my local drive i.e. a lat/lon
range and running my script over that instead.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How can I do this? Some examples would be
useful.</FONT></DIV>
