Introduction

"GrADS is an interactive desktop tool that is currently in use worldwide for the analysis and display of earth science data." (Excerpted from http://www.iges.org/grads/)

Setting Up Your Environment

Prior to running grads, the module must be loaded. The modules are used to set the GADDIR and GASCRP environment variables.

The default version can be loaded with the following command:

       host% module load grads

Additional module versions can be accessed by running the following:

       host% module avail grads

Getting Started

Once the grads environment has been set up (through the modules), the program can be run with:

       host% gradsc

For additional instructions on running GrADS, a tutorial can be found at http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.html
