Please verify your 2 latitude/longitude pairs. It was my understanding that your 2 coordinates were 34.5 lat 135 lon and 35 lat 135.5 lon. That means the 2 points are a little more than 0.5 degrees apart. The distance between 2 latitude parallels is 60 NM (111.12 KM) and half of that would be 30 NM (55.56 KM) so the computation for those 2 coordinates is correct and cannot be 5 KM. If those 2 coordinate pairs are correct, your estimate is wrong by a factor of 10. I entered the 2 coordinates above into the online distance calculator at <a href="http://www.csgnetwork.com/gpsdistcalc.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.csgnetwork.com/<wbr>gpsdistcalc.html</a> and the results match the formula.<br>

Thank you very much for your explanation.<br>
But the result is totally wrong.<br>
The estimate result just about 5 km.<br>
<br>
I think I need the formula for short distance, which is we have to consider the earth is flat.<br>

The formula expects input in radians. You must first convert the input latitudes and longitudes from degrees to radians. For example, 34.5 * PI / 180 = 0.011294, etc. Then apply the formula using your example values. The result of the formula using 34.5 lat 135 lon and 35 lat 135.5 lon is 38.8276 nautical miles or 38.8276 NM * 1.852 = 71.90872 KM.<br>

Wendi,<br>
Keep in mind what happens when you alter the geographical bounds in the control file. Those XDEF/YDEF/ZDEF/TDEF lines control the bounds of your dimension environment when running grads. Now that you've set the xdef and ydef to start at 1 and increment by very small values, the maximum x and y values in your dimension environment are now<br>
<br>
<br>
max_x = 1 + 319*0.005483962 = 2.749<br>
<br>
max_y = 1 + 319*0.00452226 = 2.443<br>
<br>
<br>
Notice how this math is derived from your control file. This means the maximum values for lat and lon that won't result in an error are 2.749 and 2.443. You set lat and lon to well outside those ranges in your script, which is why you are getting the error. You can instead reset lat and lon so that they're within the bounds above, but I think that's getting away from the problem you're trying to solve. My understanding is that you want to plot a field using linear distance coordinates rather than geographical coordinates. If so, then you don't want to be using lat/lon to set your dimensions. Use 'set x' and 'set y', and also set your initial value in your XDEF and YDEF lines to zero so that the lower left corner of your plots will be at distance coordinate (0,0) and increasing as you go up and right. Is this what you wanted to do?<br>

I have two different types of data set and I need to make composite data with those data.<br>
One data is mismatch, then I need to know how far the mismatch.<br>

One of my data set is binary and another one is netCDF.<br>

I can change my control file in my binary data. But, I cannot do this for my netCDF data.<br>

It sounds like you want to draw a plot with geographic coordinates replaced by straight-line/distance coordinates instead. If that is the case, one thing you can try is removing the PDEF line from your control file and resetting your XDEF and YDEF lines to start at 0 (but keep the delta value). That might work. If that doesn't work, you could also try turning off the map projection in grads (set mproj off) and then using 'set xaxis' and 'set yaxis' in clever ways to make it look like the map you draw is in terms of linear distance. Good luck.<br>

Subject: [gradsusr] convert world coordinate distance to real distance (km)<br>
<br>
Dear every one<br>
<br>
I have problem with converting distance in world coordinate to distance,<br>
<br>
I have map with<br>
lon = 135 135.5<br>
lat = 34.5 35<br>
<br>
I want to set lon =135, as 0 km, and lat=34.5 as 0 km.<br>
as we know that 1 deg is about 110 km.<br>
<br>
Is there any function in grads that can directly convert the world coordinat distance to real distance (km)?<br>
<br>
Please, any help would be very appreciate.<br>
<br>
thank you<br>
regards,<br>
