Hey all,<br>
<br>
I am trying to use GRADS to plot the MERRA data, for example the "surface pressure filed"<br>
<br>
My OS is Ubuntu 11.01, and Grads version is: 2.0.a9 <br>
<br>
After starts Grads under ubuntu, I typed in the fowllowing:<br>
***************************<br>
sdfopen MERRA100.prod.assim.inst3_3d_asm_Cp.19790101.SUB.hdf<span style="text-decoration: underline;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br>
<br>
</span></span>Here is the infromation:<br>
<br>
Scanning self-describing file: MERRA100.prod.assim.inst3_3d_asm_Cp.19790101.SUB.hdf<br>
Error: nc_open failed to open file MERRA100.prod.assim.inst3_3d_asm_Cp.19790101.SUB.hdf<br>
Attempt to use feature that was not turned on when netCDF was built.<br>
gadsdf: Couldn't ingest SDF metadata.<br>
******************************<br>
<br>
Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks.<br>
<br>
Mike<br>
