This dataset has 5 dimensions while GRaDS can handle 4 (longitude latitude height time).
You can restrict 1 dimensions to one point each here Data Selection
or use the XDF features in GrADs to remap the dimensions (see GrADS documentation).
Changing data from shortarraytype to real.
DODS allows one to give a application a url and have it directly download data. To read this data into GrADS use
xdfopenwhere the first line of the description file looks like
DSET http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/SOURCES/.USGS/.LandDAAC/.MODIS/.250m/.16day/.NDVI/toNaN/-999/setmissing_value/%5BX/Y%5DREORDER/dodsIf you have questions, comments, or problems please use the help@iri link. This page will evolve as we learn more about how GrADS handles data downloads, and your help pointing out problems is much appreciated.
*On GrADS startup, the config line should read
Config: ... DODS-enabled ...,
otherwise DODS (a.k.a. OpenDAP) is not installed and giving GrADS a URL instead of a local
file name will result in a file-not-found error.
In that case, you can use xdfopen after you download the netcdf file.
