Justin,
<div>I used the -A option with h5dump to get the attribute values in the dump output. Your file has grids of two different lat/lon resolutions, a low-res 5-degree grid (72x28) called “G1”, and a high-res 0.25-degree grid (1440x536) called “G2". I wrote two
descriptors, one for each grid. The descriptors are not complete, but contain samples that illustrate how to map the variables in the file into the GrADS 5D gridded data model. The alias names can be anything that makes sense to you — I like short names because
they’re easier to work with when using GrADS interactively. I mapped the dimension named ‘hgt’ to Z. The G2 data have some diurnal variables, so I used the T axis for those. The E axis is used for a dimension named “st” — not sure what that means. The dimension
named “ns” … that got indexed in the variable list using integers instead of letters in the ‘units' field, as did the 7-dimensional histogram variables in the G1 section. The G1 data need a ‘cachesize’ entry. You should be able to finish populating the descriptors
with more variables to describe everything in the file. </div>

Hi, Justin —
<div>You can get rid of the warning messages about cache size by adding a CACHESIZE entry to your descriptor file. The other message, the one about src and dest having different data spaces … that may be a problem with hdf5 and using the integer array values
in the units field of the variable declaration. Could you please write to me offline and attach your data file (don’t copy the forum with that attachment.) —Jennifer</div>

<div>The variable that has an extra dimension (‘hist’ with DATASPACE SIMPLE { ( 30, 3, 3, 16, 2, 72, 28 ) / ( 30, 3, 3, 16, 2, 72, 28 ) }) is going to be divided further into more variables with an extra set of integers in the comma-delimited units entry of
your descriptor file. </div>
<div>Good luck!! </div>

<div>Thank you. I will play around with this. However, it seems I would have to know the xdef, ydef, and zdef to take advantage of this. Any hints on how I could find out what these would be? What I have in my control file isn't correct; I just placed it there
with the intention of fixing it later after the variables worked. </div>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi, Justin —
<div>That message looks like your delcaration of the coordinates (“x,y”) is wrong. Look at the DATASPACE SIMPLE attribute in the h5dump output, that should give you a clue as to how many and what size the dimensions are. It looks like ‘hist’ has one more dimension
than ‘mean’ and these variables have 6 or 7 dimensions. Have a look at item #4 in the Usage Notes of <a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/SDFdescriptorfile.html" target="_blank">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/SDFdescriptorfile.html</a> for how to handle
this situation. </div>
