    <br>
    I think the problem is with the dimension "evn".  You can confirm
    this by writing a <br>
    descriptor file (see
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/SDFdescriptorfile.html">http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/SDFdescriptorfile.html</a>).  <br>
    <br>
    Since you only have two, you might try writing these as two separate
    variables (e.g., <br>
    EOF1 and EOF2, rather than EOF(1,lat,lon) and EOF(2,lat,lon)). 
    Second,  I'm not sure <br>
    you can mix variables that are functions of time (EOF_TS) and those
    that are not (EOF).  <br>
    Again, you might be able to fake this with levels; GrADS can handle
    variables with <br>
    different number of vertical levels, but I don't think it can handle
    variables with different <br>
    number of times.<br>
