The file is netcdf. sdfopen tells me I need to use a control <br>file with an xdef. I don't believe I have enough information to plot the <br>data correctly. I would like to know if anyone has plotted GOES 16 data <br>with grads? Is there something from the header of the nc file that would <br>help?
