<p> I've been able to plot them on version 2.1.1.b0; which
version of GrADS are you using?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> Another option would be to create a GrADS control file for
the netCDF file; e.g.,</p>

</tt><tt>ENDVARS</tt><br>
<br>
</p>
<p> Note that this will plot the images on their native grid; I
don't know a way to remap them in GrADS if you want to plot them
with a map on top. Hope this helps...<br>
</p>

<p>Cheers,</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hi everyone,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I'm looking for a way to
plot some satellite data in GrADS. I've found a source for
GOES-16 netcdf data, but its format is not compatible as shown
below; the lat and lon are set to the number of grid points in
the file, not the lat/lon extent of the file:</p>

<div>I've seen this issue pop up previously on the forum, but
there was no good answer I could make sense of. I'm hoping
someone could share some code with me to help resolve the
issue, or better yet point me to a source of netcdf's that can
be read in via the sdfopen command. <br>
