<br>
That's the directory I use; the control files and README files
are in that directory and the data are located in the
subdirectory. You just need to make sure you use the right
control file for the data you want, and you can confirm that by
comparing the file name in the DSET entry with the file type you
are using.<br>
<br>
As far as opening all of the files using one .ctl file, I've
never tried it but it might be possible...hopefully someone else
in this listserv can help you there.<br>
<br>

I only see the .ctl file and a screenshot in the
attachment; there is no binary file attached.
However, the file name is not the standard file name
for CMORPH files...where are you getting the file
from?<br>
<br>
Also, please delete the 'template' entry from
OPTIONS. I don't see a need for it and it will keep
GrADS from informing you that the source file is

My .ctl file is attached. It assumes
that the target file is located in the same
directory as the .ctl file. Please make
sure that the file name in the DSET entry is
exactly the same as the file you are using.<br>
<br>
You should not need to define the
contour line values at all to get the
display to work; I didn't need to do that.
However, you will want to multiply the value
of 'cmorph' by 0.2 in order to get units of
mm/h.<br>

<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>
<li>DSET entry: Change "intrp" to
"interp" in the file name (it's
a typo and I just notified the
developer). </li>
<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>

<pre wrap="">Hi NICK and Bob,
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

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

<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.
