    Hi Brian,<br>
    <br>
    Sorry, yeah you'll have to concatenate the files together.  But, you
    can do that with the template option in grads.  An explanation is
    given at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/templates.html">http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/templates.html</a>.<br>

                You should be able to use the GrADS function "sum",
                e.g., 'd sum(precip,t=1,t=384)'.<br>

                        <div>Hi,</div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        I'd like to be able to plot a chart using
                        shading and contours for a lat long range
                        (rather than single point) which displays the
                        total accumulated precipitation for a series of
                        time steps rather than each individual one in
                        the GFS run. For example, total precipitation
                        for 0 to 384 hours, lat 30 to 60, lon -45 -60. 
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>The GFS grib2 files don't seem to contain a
                          variable with this data so I'm guessing it's
                          necessary to sum precipitation values from
                          each individual file? Any suggestions for the
                          best way to go about this?</div>
