suppose you are using GrADS 2.0+. In that case I suggest that you can use CDO (<a
href="https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo" target="_blank">https://code.zmaw.de/projects/cdo</a>)
to make your data readable in GrADS. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>The
CDO command is: "setcalendar,<b> option</b> inputfile.nc
outputfile.nc'' . U will see the calendar <b>options</b> in the user manual.
Your data appears to be CMIP output, if so "setcalendar, <b>standard</b> inputfile.nc
outputfile.nc'' should produce an output of the same data readable by GrADS
2.0+.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Alternatively, the older version of GrADS, say 1.9 should read ur data as it

> Hello Everyone,<br>
> <br>
> I was wondering if one of you would be able to tell me how you addressed
this issue.<br>
> <br>
> I am not very good at GRADS programming. I only needed to use it to open a
".nc" file and get some values averaged over a period of time. So I
typically use the following three commands in grads.<br>
> <br>
> Sdfopen "filename.nc"<br>
> Run monmask.gs N ...................(N = month)<br>
> d ave(aave(pr*mmask, lon=lon1, lon = lon2, lat = lat1, lat =
lat2),t=time1,t=time2)<br>
> <br>
> This worked for ! a few files but when I tried to use it on some others, I
get the follo wing error<br>
> <br>
> <br>
> ga-> sdfopen pr_A1.nc<br>
> Scanning self-describing file: pr_A1.nc<br>
> SDF Error: 365 day calendars are no longer supported by sdfopen.<br>
> To open this file with GrADS, use a descriptor file with<br>
> a complete TDEF entry and OPTIONS 365_day_calendar.<br>
> Documentation is at http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/SDFdescriptorfile.html<br>
> <br>
> When I compared NCDUMP for the files for which "sdfopen" worked
with the those for which "sdfopen" did not work, I noticed that the
calendar has to be gregarian for sdfopen to work.<br>
> <br>
> Can you tell me how I can open files that have "noleap" calendars
and work around the 365_day_calendar issue?<br>
> <br>
> I greatly appreciated your help in this matter.<br>
> <br>
> Thank you.<br>
