<div>You do not need to download the netcde format. The 3B42 (3hrly) data is already in gridded binary format and you can display it directly in grads. I am sending you the "ctl" file so that you can use it. All you need to do is edit the path ("dset") and starting date plus the tottal number of files in the directory ("tdef").<br>

<br></div>Your data is 3 hourly - this means that you can only have 8 time steps in<br>a day and not 24 timesteps. You can try the following which gives you the<br>plot (time series) of one day.<br><br>'set t 1 8' * 8 timesteps = 1 day given your 3hourly data<br>
