<br>
The doc file I pointed to in my first reply does tell you ‘exactly how your output grid file must be written’ — look under the heading Structure of a Gridded Binary File:<br>
<a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/aboutgriddeddata.html#structure" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gado<wbr>c/aboutgriddeddata.html#struct<wbr>ure</a><br>
<br>
“… Each building block is a horizonal grid of data varying in the X and Y dimensions. The first dimension (X) always varies from west to east; the second dimension (Y) varies from south to north (by default).”<br>
<br>
So, you muse write all longitudes at the southernmost latitude. Then write out another row of data for all longidutes and the next latitude, etc. You may find this page useful: <a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/ascii.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gado<wbr>c/ascii.html</a> — the section on “Input ASCII data” has an example showing how to deal with ASCII data using GrADS scripts.<br>
