<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 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 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>
