<div>Fellow grads users,<br>
<br>
</div>
Can anyone tell me (or point me to a resource) how to import NEXRAD radar data, downloaded from NCDC, into GrADS?<br>
<br>
I tried using the NOAA Weather and Climate Toolkit to convert the NEXRAD data to shapefiles, but then I can't get the colors of the polygons to show up. I found a script written by Jennifer Adams (<a href="ftp://cola.gmu.edu/grads/scripts/shp_demo3.gs" target="_blank">ftp://cola.gmu.edu/grads/scripts/shp_demo3.gs</a>)
that references a radar.ctl file. So there must be a way to do it, but a Google search hasn't lead to anything useful.<br>
<br>
</div>
Any help would be much appreciated.<br>
<br>
</div>
Thank you in advance,<br>
