operator "gradsdes"
Added by Bidyut Goswami almost 4 years ago
Dear All,
While using "gradsdes" I have noticed that the generated data descriptor has a variable record statement like
variable_name level_count t,z,y,x variable_long_name
Apparently what GrADS needs is
SDF_varname=>grads_varname level_count t,z,y,x variable_long_name
I am using GrADS v2.2.0.
Am I missing anything or "gradsdes" is designed to do it this way only?
Thanks.

Hi Bidyut,
it is not necessary to use an alias for the SDF variable name and the GrADS variable name if they are identical.
See http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/gadocindex.html
'... The aliasing of variable names may be omitted (i.e., "SDF_name=>" does not precede grads_name) if the SDF_name already meets the criteria for GrADS variable names listed above. ...'
But you can easily edit it if needed and add the SDF variable name.
