<p>Hi Carlos,</p>
<p>Did you try with "xdfopen" instead of just "open"? You'll need
to use xdfopen with the descriptor file.</p>

I really appreciate your help, it's always priceless, I was
checking your descriptor file, but it doesn't run, this is what
must be changed.<br>

I'm using data from the pacific ocean, with 137 N_PROF and I
don't know how to manage this problem. Can you help with this
one, please?<br>
<br>
I really thank all your help my friend.<br>

<p>Hi Carlos,</p>
<p>Following onto Jennifer's message, the Argo data are
distributed as NetCDF files, and you will need to create
a descriptor file to work with them in GrADS. The
profile information is contained in the "profile files"
(there are also trajectory and metadata files associated
with the Argo floats). Here is an example descriptor
file for a profile file downloaded from one of the Argo
DAC's:</p>

<br>
Hi guys, I was trying to use this data
from Argo, whith the intention to plot
the salinity, oxigen and pressure
oceanic profile, but I don't know how
to make the descriptor file, if any
can help me with this one I really
appreciate.<br>
<br>
PD. i can't attach the data from the
argo project, because is too big<br>
<br>
Thank you so much! </div>
