    Hi Jeff,<br>
    <br>
    thank you very much vor your answer! I removed the commands "set t 1
    2". Now I get a plot with the wind speed on the x-axis and the
    height on the y axis, see attachement.<br>
    <br>
    What I want is, that it looks like this:

    <br>
    I really appreciate any further help! <br>
    <br>
    Best regards, André<br>

            It looks like you have the right idea, but I don't see a
            reason for the commands<br>
            <br>
          </div>
          'set t 1 2'<br>
          <br>
        </div>
        That will cause grads to plot two different time steps worth of
        data.  Based on my knowledge of those GFS files, there is only
        one time slice of data in each file, so depending on what the
        TDEF line of your control file says, you should get an error on
        the second time slice.  Also, Grads does not overlay plots that
        vary in time, only plots that are fixed in any two dimensions
        (X-Y for instance).<br>
        <br>
        Basically, remove the "set t 1 2' commands and see if the result
        is what you are looking for.<br>
