So, I’m not sure exactly what is going wrong for you. Perhaps your index file got corrupted or overwritten? One other thing to change in your TDEF entry — the start time should be 1jan1945 instead of 15jan1945. GrADS is happier with this initial time when using monthly data. Maybe that will make a difference.</div><div>—Jennifer</div><div>p.s. What version of GrADS are you using? </div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 24, 2015, at 9:19 AM, Andrew Friedman <<a href="mailto:andfried@gmail.com">andfried@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div>ga-> set time jan1946<br>Time values set: 1946:1:15:0 1946:1:15:0<br>ga-> d s<br>Cannot contour grid - all undefined values<br></div><br>-Andrew<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 3:07 PM, Jennifer Adams <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jma@cola.iges.org" target="_blank">jma@cola.iges.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex; position: static; z-index: auto;"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">It looks as though all your records are matching and gribmap can open the data files.
