<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to write a GrADS compatible netCDF file using ITT’s IDL software, that can then be read in using GrADS’s sdfopen command. Does anyone have an example IDL procedure that does this please?

<a href="http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/aboutgriddeddata.html" target="_blank">http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/aboutgriddeddata.html</a> but ideally I’d like to write these in netCDF format. The main problem is writing the netCDF so that the associated control file accurately
describes the netCDF file content.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">So, if anyone has a very simple IDL procedure that writes out a netCDF file that can be directly read by GrADS using the sdfopen command that would be fantastic.<u></u><u></u></p>
