<div>I'm not sure that will work. Try adding something like this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>getfilevarnames(f)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>or something else from the listed functions at <a href="https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/addfile.shtml" style="font-size:10pt" target="_blank">
https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/addfile.shtml</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It may be reading your file after all, but the print statement isn't the way to access information in the file.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm looking at the 4km resolution hourly precipitation from NCEP/CPC (<a href="http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds507.5/" target="_blank">http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/<wbr>ds507.5/</a>). The documented data format is GRIB1, but when using "addfile" no variables
were printed. </div>

<div>
<div>ncl 0> f = addfile("./gage.hrly.prcp.<wbr>20020101","r")</div>

<div>Type: file</div>
<div>(0) File Missing Value : -1</div>

<div>Does anyone have a clue how to access the data?</div>
