I am not sure what to do here and my scripts are all breaking once it tries to read data gotten from this new site. Since I can no longer access the last site, what am I suppose to do here? is there a new grads version? mine is 2.2.1 Please I really need help, I am trying for days to fix this issue and cant find a way. ---

I dont know what data you are trying to download but i found out that data from 1961-1990 previous site ( Divergence/u and v) were with different set levs when compared to the sama dataset for 1991-2020. Maybe you should look into each data separetly and check if they have different set levs . It seems to be working now here. ---

Attribute type 10 is NC\_INT64 (long integer) and is not present in grads source code. The below applied on the github code [[GitHub - j-m-adams/GrADS: The Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS)](https://github.com/j-m-adams/GrADS)] should do: #################################################### ```auto diff --git a/src/gasdf.c b/src/gasdf.c index 1de4fbf..de06b8f 100644 --- a/src/gasdf.c +++ b/src/gasdf.c @@ -3089,6 +3089,7 @@ nc_type type; } break; case (NC_LONG): + case (NC_INT64): sz = attlen * sizeof(long); ival = (long *) galloc(sz,"ival"); status = nc_get_att_long(cdfid, varid, attname, ival); ``` ############################################ Remember though that GrADS is dead, and no development is expected. Time to switch to something different. ---

My professors at my uni told me that, I am going to switch as soon as I finish my TCC.I mean, I will have to learn either Python or something else, and I know for sure I have issues with programming since I can remember, thats why i havent changed from grads yet.
