<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi, Jonathan -- <div>GrADS should be able to read your .he5 file if it contains gridded data. The file naming convention is unconventional, and it is not immediately apparent to me what the two date strings mean. Your best bet may be to use chsub to map complete filenames to the time steps they contain, something like :</div><div><br></div><div>dset /Users/jonathanwsmith/DATA/OMI_DOMINO_NO2/FIRST_LEG/%ch</div><div>chsub 1 XX OMI-Aura_L2-OMDOMINO_2006m0522t0926-o09846_v003-2010m1007t075325.he5</div><div><br></div><div>...where XX is the number of time steps in your file. </div><div><br></div><div>The smallest time increment GrADS will handle is minutes, so a TDEF for this file might be: </div><div>tdef XX linear 09:26z22may2006 1mn</div><div><br></div><div>... assuming that "2006m0522t0926" represents the initial time in the file. It's difficult to help any further without knowing more about what's in your file and what the naming convention means.</div><div>--Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; "><i><br></i></span></div><div><div><div>On Oct 3, 2011, at 5:20 PM, SMITH, JONATHAN WYNN.
