Added by Juan Bazo over 11 years ago

I tried calculate climate indices with CDO, I use a climate model data, when I tried to open in grads I have two variables but one say uld be difined.

Hi,

here is from my GrADS Version 2.0.a3

and here is my cdo (v1.6.x) output

I don't think it's a CDO problem.

Cheers,

grads uses a limited number of characters to represent the variable name. their names are not consecutive_dry and number_of_cdd_p, but:
