DODS allows one to give a application a url and have it directly download data. To read this data into GrADS use

xdfopen

where the first line of the description file looks like

DSET http://dlibrary.snia.gub.uy/SOURCES/.MGAP/.CPT/CrossValHind/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 xdfopen after you download the netcdf file.
