The GrADS downloads web page (<a href="http://iges.org/grads/downloads.html"><font color="#001fdf" style="color: rgb(0, 31, 223); "><u>http://iges.org/grads/downloads.html</u></font></a>) has been updated with links to the source code and pre-compiled binaries for a few OS flavors. </div><div><br></div><div>This build has the initial implementation of a new capability -- graphics output that is compatible with GIS software. You can create files in the GeoTIFF format (a georeferenced raster image) as well as the KML format, which is actually two files: an image file in TIFF format and a text file in KML which contains the georeferencing information. The KML file is intended for use with Google Earth. There is some documentation on how to use these new graphics output options:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetgxout.html">http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetgxout.html</a></div><div><a href="http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetgeotiff.html">http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetgeotiff.html</a></div><div><a href="http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetkml.html">http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetkml.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>There are other fixes and additions to this release, outlined below:</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">Bug Fixes: </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">* PDEF lcc now works properly in the Southern Hemisphere</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">* sdfwrite output has correct time axis units</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; "><pre style="word-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">Misc:
