Hi,<br />
<br />
I am new to GrADS and I would like to get some info with my work. I have a gridded dataset *.grd, which I want to convert into ASCII file (or someother better format) to be able to do some statistical analysis with. here are my basic doubts.....<br />
<br />
1. is it possible that statistical analysis can be performed with *.grd file themselves?<br />
2. I have my other datasets in different formats like netcdf, ASCII - can I import such files into GrADS and work on my statistical analyses?<br />
3. As I am not familiar with GrADS and its functionalities, I was planning to do my analyses using R, in which case I want my .grd file converted into some other "R"-friendly format (I tried using some R packages/functions to convert gridded format into ASCII but, it did not work!)<br />
4. if possible, can I get some tutorials specific to above mentioned issues, and analyses like PCA, Time-Series analysis, lag auto-correlations and stuff..! I was going thro' some tutorials where I obtained basic info about reading the .ctl file and plotting out the variables (which helped me visualize my dataset actually!)<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
