Grid Analysis and Display System

Grid Analysis and Display System - plotting software used in atmospheric sciences and climatology.

The Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS) is a software used in atmospheric sciences and climatology to display meteorological fields such as pressure, temperature, or wind speeds. It allows to read gridded meteorological data in different formats such as netCDF or GRIB and plot time series of displays from several identical datasets with differing times. It uses ctl mechanism to join differing time group datasets.
