Hi,

You need to set dfile 1 or 2 ... before defining your variable in the corresponding file.

Hope this will help
Regards !

Objet : [RegCNET] Fwd: How to calculate the geopotential height and defintion problem

Hi Satyaban Bishoyi Ratna
 
I did the same as you suggested but i am getting the warning messages.
Please have a look on this and give your suggestion.

Hi Rajesh,
Why don't you use the Post Processing tool of RegCM3.
This post processing tool will solve all your query in this mail.
This tool can help you to derive monthly mean of your desired variables and also it can get geopotential height.

Anyway, there is some wrong with defining time with your grads script.
You see each CTL file and average the variable as per the number of time stamp available. You can use this example script with slight modification of your script.


define r1=ave(tpr.1,t=1,t=120)*30/10
define r2=ave(tpr.2,t=1,t=124)*31/10
define r3=ave(tpr.3,t=1,t=124)*31/10 ....and so on.

The same method you can apply for wind. Hope this helps you.

Thanks.

Regards
Satyaban

>Hello All,
 
 I am plotting monthly and seasonal precipitaion  , circulation field(200,850).
These are the step(Given below) i am following for plot like precipitation and vector wind.
Let me correct , if i am missing something  for correct plot.
I need help on how to  plot geopotential height(monthly and seasonal) and give the idea(with example) . 
Please  help me regarding the above problem.
