The opengrads extensions should work with just a few minor<br /> adjustments to the entries in the user defined plug-in table. We have also<br /> added logical operators to the expression handler, (e.g. 'display slp<980')<br /> and an if() function which facilitates the use of the logical operators. The<br /> result of a logical expression is 1 or -1, making it especially easy to use<br /> with maskout(). Here's how simple it is to create a mask for a lat/lon<br /> subdomain:<br /> ga-> d maskout(tsfc,(lat>=-5)&(lat<=5)&(lon>=190)&(lon<=240))<br /> <br /> Another handy new scripting language function, sys(), will submit a command to<br /> the shell, similar to putting a "!" in front of your command, except that the<br /> resulting output can be captured and returned as a string buffer to be parsed<br /> in your script.<br /> <br /> The GrADS downloads web page<br /> (<a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/downloads.html">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/downloads.html</a><<a href="http://iges.org/grads/downloads.html">http://iges.org/grads/downloads.html</a>>)<br /> has been updated with links to the source code and pre-compiled binaries for<br /> 32-bit and 64-bit linux plus Mac OS X (10.9). The recent switch from HTTP to<br /> HTTPS for most .gov data servers requires that GrADS be linked with the<br /> OpenSSL library. This is done dynamically, which means that the library must<br /> be present on your local system in order to use the SSL-enabled builds.<br /> Because OpenSSL is not always available or may not be the most recent version,<br /> I have also created builds that are not linked with OpenSSL.<br /> <br /> The full text from the ChangeLog is copied below. Enjoy!<br /> —Jennifer<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Features:<br /> * Added support for User Defined Plug-in functions which replace the old<br /> UDFs<br /> * Added support for logical operators in the expression syntax (gridded<br /> data only)<br /> * New function 'if()' performs an if/then/else expression evaluation<br /> * New scripting language function 'sys()' submits any command to the shell<br /> and<br /> returns the resulting text stream that the command sends to standard<br /> output<br /> * New option '-4de' for the 'set sdfwrite' command<br /> * New option for 'q define' prints all the relevant information about a<br /> variable<br /> * New command 'set barbopts' to support filled pennant flags on wind barbs<br /> <br /> Misc:<br /> * Added support in gxprint for mixed case file names with the -f or -b<br /> option<br /> * Added descriptor file entry 'XYTRAILER' for files that have a trailer<br /> record<br /> <br /> New/Updated Documentation:<br /> * <a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/udp.html">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/udp.html</a><br /> * <a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/expressions.html">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/expressions.html</a><br /> * <a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradfuncif.html">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradfuncif.html</a><br /> * <a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/script.html">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/script.html</a><br /> * <a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetsdfwrite.html">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetsdfwrite.html</a><br /> * <a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/descriptorfile.html">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/descriptorfile.html</a><br /> * <a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradcomdqdefine.html">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradcomdqdefine.html</a><br /> * <a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetbarbopts.html">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gradcomdsetbarbopts.html</a><br /> <br /> Supplib Update:<br /> * Some builds are linked dynamically with OpenSSL to access data servers<br /> via HTTPS.<br /> This library may not always be needed or available, so builds without<br /> OpenSSL<br /> have also been provided.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> _______________________________________________<br /> gradsusr mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:gradsusr@gradsusr.org">gradsusr@gradsusr.org</a><br /> <a href="http://gradsusr.org/mailman/listinfo/gradsusr">http://gradsusr.org/mailman/listinfo/gradsusr</a></blockquote>

<p>Hi Brian, </p>
<p>I hope you dont mind me asking but how do you currently run the arome 0.01, do you use opengrads? I get many errors trying to run the data using opengrads 2.1.a2. I run the ARPEGE fine even though I had to re-write the wgrib to place the data in order. The packaging was terrible.</p>
