Displaying a GRIB2 (SST)

Post by TJS »

Most users might already know this, but here's how to bring in and displayed a GRIB2 SST field:

- downloaded a grib2 from web (http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/fil ... s.20120222).
- opened mcidas-v
- read in a local grid file (data source under data explorer, gridded data, local data)
- selected the product (water temperature @ surface)
- adjusted min/max for range (right click on color bar)
- zoomed in on the gulf stream (used the mouse 'wheel')
- read out the temperature value (hold middle mouse)
- saved image (view, capture, image...)
- saved google earth file (view, capture, image...)
- displayed the google earth
