Hi Rod, re: > Like what I am saying is the .ALT(Latitude) and .ALN (Longitude) > > .ALT read from top to bottom > > First column first row------) some number A for instance > > Now for .ALN reading from left to right > > Fist column first row----) some number B for instance > > so coordinates would be (A,B) for the 1st row or column bright count value? Correct. re: > First column second row------) some number C for instance > > Now for .ALN reading from left to right > > Fist column second row----) some number D for instance > > so coordinates would be (C,D) for the 2nd row or column bright count value? Correct. re: > And so on if that makes sense? Draw a grid of dots and assign location values to the lattice points: col 1 col 2 col 3 ... row 1 37.14N,95.07W 37.14N,95.02W 37.14N,94.96W ... row 2 37.09N,95.07W 37.09N,95.02W 37.09N,94.96W ... row 3 37.05N,95.07W 37.05N,95.02W 37.05N,94.96W ... . . . row last 22.27N,95.07W 22.27N,95.02W 22.27N,94.96W ... NB: these locations are invariant for all of your study days because the IMGREMAP projection and size used in EFFRAD3.BAT is fixed. Draw a second grid and assign brightness values to the lattice points (these values are from 2720111955): col 1 col 2 col 3 ... row 1 9 8 7 ... row 2 14 14 15 ... row 3 15 10 15 ... . . . row last 0 0 0 ... This is a tabular depiction of: brit(37.14N,95.07W) = 9 brit(37.14N,95.02W) = 8 brit(37.14N,94.96W) = 7 ... brit(37.09N,95.07W) = 14 brit(37.09N,95.02W) = 14 brit(37.09N,94.96W) = 15 ... brit(37.05N,95.07W) = 15 brit(37.05N,95.02W) = 10 brit(37.05N,94.96W) = 15 ... brit(22.27N,95.07W) = 0 brit(22.27N,95.02W) = 0 brit(22.27N,94.96W) = 0 How this needs to be formulated for use in GrADS is not something I can comment on since I am not a GrADS user. It should be straightforward, however. Cheers, Tom -- **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
