<div dir="ltr">I'm trying to use r.in.gdal in GRASS GIS to import Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) model NetCDF output. There have been some tips provided by the GRASS users list, but none have worked for me. I can import the data as a simple x,y array with no georeferencing, but information about georeferencing is in the file as other programs read, georeference and display the file correctly.<div>
