Can you just send a sample data descriptor file for cf-1.6 station data. Well I have tried unidata idv, it seems to open it directly.<div>Anyways thanks for the prompt reply.</div><div>Regards</div><div>Ghansham<br><div><br>

If you follow CF-1.6 for discrete geometries, you should able to
open the data set in GrADS, but you will have to write a data
descriptor file. The CF-1.6 convention is to have variables with
single dimensions, and I believe GrADS (as well as other client
tools) needs to have lat/lon dimensions.<br>

Is it possible to open point datasets in netcdf format following
CF conventions (see discrete sampling geometry in cf metedata
conventions1.6 document available online). I could not find online
documentation regarding same. I am using grads 2.0.2. The dataset
is satellite derived wind vectors having relevant fields (ucomp,
vcomp, wind speed, Windows direction, latitude, longitude,
date/time of each observation).
