    Can you show how time is defined in these four descriptor files
    (TDEF)?  I think the issue might be that time is being defined in
    the first file, and t=1 in the first file is not the same date as
    t=1 in the second.  If you add "set dfile 1", "set dfile 2", etc.
    before each while loop, it shoudl work (dfile 1 before the first
    loop, dfile 2 before the second, and so on).<br>
    <br>
    Another way to do this is to use the template option.  In this way
    you have a single data descriptor file that accesses each of the
    monthly files.  Details are at
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gadocindex.html">http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gadocindex.html</a> under "templates".<br>
