Wesley, <br><br>Thank you, you are a life saver. <br><br>Summary:<br>My problem was that I used <b><a href="http://g2grb.gs">g2grb.gs</a></b> to create a <b>grib2 output</b> file using grads. My variable is <b>reflectivity</b> and I needed to find a suitable <b>grib name</b> for the reflectivity. The names are listed below.<br>

'set sdfwrite <a href="http://reflectivity.nc" target="_blank">reflectivity.nc</a>'<br>'sdfwrite reflectivity'<br>
where reflectivity is my variable and <a href="http://reflectivity.nc" target="_blank">reflectivity.nc</a> is my netCDF file, it produces a netCDF file on a lat/lon projection. So I either need to convert the output to a Mercator projection grid or I need to somehow create the netCDF from GrADS as a Mercator projection. <br>
<br>ALTERNATIVELY:<br>I can create a grib2 file with reflectivity as the variable. I used <a href="http://g2grb.gs" target="_blank">g2grb.gs</a> to do this, but there is no standard grib name for reflectivity. Just using a different variable name (such as HGT) is unacceptable for this project.<br>
<br>Any help you can provide will be most appreciated.<span><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Tom Robinson<br>President - Graduate Student Organization <br>Graduate Student - Department of Meteorology<br>
