<div dir="ltr">Justin,<div>As in my previous response to another thread, use the lterp function - it performs linear interpolation to match two grids. It is a fairly simple function. If for whatever reason you don't want to do that or it doesn't work, you can change the XDEF and YDEF lines of your control files to match each other, as that information is what GrADS uses to determine if you can perform operations on two grids. The PDEF entries do not have to match.</div><div><br></div><div>Jeff Duda</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 7, 2016 at 2:38 PM, Justin Hicks <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jhicks2014@gmail.com" target="_blank">jhicks2014@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">GrADS users,</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I previously used GLDAS files and mask files to calculate monthly area averages.
