                        <div>Hi Gradusers,<br>
                          <br>
                          I'm new to Grads and am not a computer
                          scientist or Meteorologist (a lowly Geologist)
                          so pardon my ignorance.&nbsp; I'd like to use the
                          NOAA wavewatch III dataset (<a
                            moz-do-not-send="true"
                            href="ftp://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/history/waves/"
                            target="_blank">ftp://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/history/waves/</a>)
                          in *.grb2 format and grads to get average wind
                          and swell amplitude and direction for any part
                          of the globe.&nbsp; I'm fairly sure this is
                          possible as the wavewatch III product viewer (<a
                            moz-do-not-send="true"
                            href="http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/viewer.shtml"
                            target="_blank">http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/viewer.shtml</a>?)

                          does it over the past 180 hours.&nbsp; I'd like to
                          get the average values over the full dataset
                          (1999 - present) and produce an animation of
                          this if possible.&nbsp; Can someone help me with
                          where to start?&nbsp; I'm aware I'll probably need
                          g2ctl, however my programming knowledge is
                          limited to some basic python so I'm having
                          trouble with getting started.&nbsp; Apologies for
                          the basic question.<br>
                          <br>
                          Kind Regards,<br>
                          <br>
