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://digilib.icpac.net/SOURCES/.ICPAC/.CHIRPS-BLENDED/.dekadal/.rainfall_indices/rfe_mergeddiff/1+index/.rfe_mergeddiff_percent/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.
