<p class="MsoNormal">Hi –<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope someone could help me out. I am trying to get the TRMM_3B42_Daily: TRMM (TMPA) Precipitation L3 1 day 0.25 degree x 0.25 degree V7 product from NASA to view in GrADS Version 2.1.a2 , but I am not having too much success with the netcdf-4
files.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, I am trying to open up one file: <a href="https://disc2.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/TRMM_L3/TRMM_3B42_Daily.7/1998/12/3B42_Daily.19981231.7.nc4">

<p class="MsoNormal">using GrADS. The control file I have created is:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have a working script that they could pass along to me, or suggest any changes to the above control file to make it work?</p>
