Hi All,<br>
Can any one suggest how to convert HDF files (e. g. TRMM rain) in to binary files (in<br>

The GrADS utility sdfopen is not working. It gives an error "SDF file has no discernible<br>
X coordinate". Any clue to fix this!<br></blockquote><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>If you use the "ctl" that Jennifer provides in a separate message you can create fortran sequential binaries with lats4d:</div>
