I imagine I'd specify the lat long covering the area of interest? What I want to do is identical to the NOAA product viewer (<a href="http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/viewer.shtml">http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/viewer.shtml</a>?) but over 10 years, instead of 180 hrs. Perhaps animating with a daily or weekly average values.<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 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>
