[RegCNET] Re: Clarification about 'postproc.in'

[Moetasim]

Hi,
As far as I know...unfortunately, the Netcdf files, which you get from 
postproc, are not readable in Grads. You have two options:
1) Use ferret/NCL instead of Grads
2) Write CTL file for files which you get after postprocessing in Grads format.
Writing CTL file should not be very tricky. YOu can use ncdump to check the 
contents/list of variables of Netcdf postproc files..The sequence of variables 
in Grads formatted files will be same. You should use any ATM???.CTL file as 
template for ATM postproc file and similarly RAD and SRF CTL files as template 
for writing CTL files for your postprocessed Grads formatted files. Remember 
that you just need to change variable info and time info in CTL files...Rest 
should almost remain same...
Try writing one.. If you are successful then do post your CTL files at 
RegCNET. 
And if you are not successful then................. you can ask again..or may 
be someone else have already tried for such CTL files so he can post for you...
I hope you will give a try to any of the options I have mentioned above.
