Accessing data using your copy of GrADS*

DODS allows one to give a application a url and have it directly download data. To read this data into GrADS use
sdfopen http://maproom.meteorwanda.gov.rw/SOURCES/.WORLDBATH432/bath/dods
If 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 sdfopen after you download the netcdf file.
