I'd be very interested Jim, thanks. <br><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 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>
<br>
