<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>
<p>
</p><blockquote type="cite">DSET ^<a href="http://20100828_prof.nc" target="_blank">20100828_prof.nc</a><br>
DTYPE netcdf<br>
TITLE Example Argo profile file <a href="http://20100828_prof.nc" target="_blank">20100828_prof.nc</a><br>
UNDEF 99999<br>
XDEF N_PROF 1 linear 180.0 1.0<br>
YDEF N_PROF 1 linear 0.0 1.0<br>
ZDEF N_LEVELS 993 linear 5.0 1.0<br>
TDEF N_PROF 134 linear 28aug2010 1mo<br>
VARS 4<br>
PRES=>PRES 993 t,z Zonal Velocity (cm/s)<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi everybody<br>
<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!
