Hi,

Is there any file that I need to Load at the beginning? or need to chk on
the system?
I am using NCL V5.2.1 & still getting the same coredump error while using
following command:

hgt = f1->HGT_P0_L100_GLL0

I am able to extract the coordinate values (Lat & Lon) but not able to
extract other data.....without which I can't plot.

Pls advice, tks

Best Regards,
Hassan
