I would use either ncdump or ncks for this operation. I think they're much more suited for extracting data from a netCDF file such as WRF output.<br><br>Jeff Duda<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 12:45 PM, David Bryan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:davidstephenbryan@yahoo.com">davidstephenbryan@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I need to extract a limited amount of data--a few parameters and specific grid<br>
points--from rich netcdf data sets (WRF output). Is GrADS the right tool for<br>
that? I thought it was, but after reading the "Basic Concepts of Operation" in<br>
the Users Guide, I got the impression that GrADS is only a visualization tool. <br>
If GrADS is right for the job, could you suggest the function/section to examine<br>
on this matter? If it's not, I would welcome any other suggestions.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
David<br>
