I was about to take a look at a sample of these files but it appears<br>

&gt;&gt; Hi, Xin!<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Try adding the file extension, like this:<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; f = addfile(&quot;./gage.hrly.prcp.<wbr>20020101.grib1&quot;,&quot;r&quot;)<br>

&gt;&gt; Dear All,<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I&#39;m looking at the 4km resolution hourly precipitation from NCEP/CPC<br>
&gt;&gt; (<a href="http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds507.5/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/<wbr>ds507.5/</a>). The documented data format is<br>
&gt;&gt; GRIB1, but when using &quot;addfile&quot; no variables were printed.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; ncl 0&gt; f = addfile(&quot;./gage.hrly.prcp.<wbr>20020101&quot;,&quot;r&quot;)<br>
&gt;&gt; ncl 1&gt; print(f)<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Variable: f<br>
&gt;&gt; Type: file<br>
&gt;&gt; (0) File Missing Value : -1<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Does anyone have a clue how to access the data?<br>
&gt;&gt; Thank you all!<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
