    Miquel,<br>
    <br>
    Here's the problem.  Your first file TDEF is:<br>
    <br>
    tdef 1 linear 18Z30sep2015 1mo<br>
    <br>
    and the second file TDEF is:<br>
    <br>
    tdef 1 linear 00Z01oct2015 1mo<br>
    <br>
    So, when you open the first file, the first time value will be set
    to 1800 on Sept. 30, 2015.  The increment is define as one month
    (1mo), so t=2 would presumably be 1800 Oct. 30, 2015, t=3 same for
    Nov., and so on.  The combined file has:<br>
    <br>
    tdef 30 linear 06Z29sep2015 6hr<br>
    <br>
    Here, the initial time is 0600 on Sept. 29, 2015 and the increment
    is 6 hours, so the next time step should be 1200 on Sept. 29.  I
    suspect that your files either have too many, or too few, time
    steps.  Maybe the files contain forecast information that overlaps? 
    It looks like the names of the files are f066 then f072, so maybe 6
    time-steps in each, which means (complete speculation here) that
    they have 6 time-steps in each for a total of 36 hours?  If true,
    the first file starts at 0600 Sept 29, the next file should start
    1200 Sept 30?<br>

                                  example, if you open a file and "set t
                                  1", time will get set to some date as
                                  defined in that control file.  If the
                                  subsequent files don't have this date
                                  defined you'll get the grid coordinate
                                  error.  You could issue a "set dfile"
                                  command to re-set the coordinates.<br>
