OK, now I get it. The climatology won't help. All you need to do
is computed means on whatever time interval you choose, set the
lat/lon domain and display the variable over a set time range.<br>

You want to get/plot a variable along an arbitrary
coastline? This is not going to be straightforward; the
output is on a regular lat/lon grid.<br>

What I ultimately want to do is specify any coastline
in the world and see an averages of the various
parameters contained within the NOAA dataset (swell
direction, amplitude, wind direction ect.).<br>

I made a monthly mean climatology from the early
WW3 output, based on 1998-2007 output, if
interested just let me know.<br>

<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. 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. 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. I'd like
to get the average
values over the full
dataset (1999 -
present) and produce
an animation of this
if possible. Can
someone help me with
where to start? 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.
Apologies for the
basic question.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
<br>
Kent Balas<br>
