<div>Dear John</div>
<div>I don't know exactly from where the file was downloaded (I copied it from someone).</div>
<div>and the size of the file is too large to be attached.</div>
<div>Attached is the ncdump of the file.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>By the way, using NCL I just came to know that we can display the variable as:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffcc99">in1=addfile("/mnt/storage-space/disk1/lshl/khan/<a href="http://aerosol.climatology.nc" target="_blank">aerosol.climatology.nc</a>","r")<br>
<br>
var = "anthro_dust_0.1"<br>
d1 = in1->$var$</font></div>
<div><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffcc99"><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff">So I think the problem can be solved using NCL. However thanks for your timely help.</font></font></div>

<div>Hi all</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have been trying to display a variable <strong>anthro_dust_0.1</strong> in an
<a href="http://aerosol.nc/" target="_blank">aerosol.nc</a> file using GrADS but it gives error:
<strong>invalid variable name.</strong></div>
<div>I guess that the problem is with the <font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff33">
0.1</font> used with variable name but I dont know how to deal with it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any suggestion?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks</div>
