<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>Dear Marwan,<BR><BR> I just tried
it and got the same result, but I was able to fix it and make it work. You
will need to make four changes in the .ctl file:<BR>
<OL>
<LI>DSET entry: Put your data path in the "your-data-set-path" section.
<LI>DSET entry: Change "intrp" to "interp" in the file name (it's a typo and I
just notified the developer).
<LI>DSET entry: Put the date of the file you're interested in in the
"%y4%m2%d2%h2" part. </LI></OL>(To summarize the first three points, the file
name in the DSET entry should EXACTLY match the name of the file you're trying
to plot).
<OL>
<LI>If your machine is little Endian rather than big Endian, change the
OPTIONS entry from "big_endian" to "little_endian". (If you're not sure,
just try both. The bad one will give you nonsensical
values).<BR></LI></OL> One other suggestion is to get rid of
the "template" option in the OPTIONS entry. It has its uses, but one of
the bad things about it is that it stops GrADS from giving an error message if
it can't find the actual file (hence it didn't yell about any of the issues in
changes 1-3 which kept it from finding the file) and it kept me from realizing
the problem sooner.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Bob<BR></DIV>

I am deeply thankful for all of your help and support but could you give me a reason why l am getting this error message ^entire grid undefined ^
IS it becuase i did not set the range of vlues if not could anyone help me with that as in script or code

Hello Marwan,
From looking at a fortran The CMORPH data files are flat (only data)
files - the data are big-endian 4-byte floating point numbers.
You can read the data in to GrADS and process it as you like. You could
also read the gridded data in Matlab using "fread" and extract or process
the data at the point of interest.
regards - Nick

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Dear Bob,
Could you be more a specific about what type of program I should be
using because I am new to this. I am trying to simple calculation such as
Regression analysis, Correlation, RMS
Also, I am trying to compute the annual, monthly, 10-daily, daily for
a specific coordinate and plot.
I was working on matlab because I am familiar with it but now with
CMORPH files I am not sure what use. I am kinda of beginner user.
However, I am a fast learner if you could guide through the process or
at least referring to me some website that would be great.
Best regards,
Marwan

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Dear Marwan,
The only way I know to plot CMORPH data is to use the control files
and README guidance in <A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/precip/global_CMORPH/">ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/precip/global_CMORPH/</A>.
Cheers,

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Hi gradusers,
I have been trying to open and plot these data but before that is
there is anyway to change there extension from binary to familiar
extenstion as in HDF NetCDF or Asccii file.
Also, is there is away to install grad into windows os or is it
better to use ubuntu linxus distribution or any other referrals. I
am new on this but I wish someone could have some experience with
that to help/ share.
Thank you all for your help in advance.
