Package ucar.nc2.iosp.grads Description

I/O Service Provider for GrADS Binary Grid Files. This IOSP handles:

• raw lat/lon binary grid files (DTYPE not defined)
• ensembles defined by NAMES in one file or as a template
• time templates
• gaussian latitudes

It does not yet handle:

• other DTYPEs since these are readable through other IOSPs
• projected data (has PDEF)
• cross-sections since there isn't enough metadata to define the single x or y dimension
• ensembles defined by EDEF/ENDEDEF
• some miscellaneous options:
  • zrev - no examples
  • 365_day_calendar - no support in netCDF-Java for imaginary times
  • byteswapped - no examples, bad way to do it
  • cray_32bit_ieee - no examples
