Hi, i am fairly new to the earth science field and its implementation in terms of programming. I had a question that is probably fairly obvious to most: What is the difference/relationship between gdal and opengrads (or does there even exist such a relationship?). Is one build on top of the other. Are they competing products in some areas? Which has what place where?
Grads description: The Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS) <http://grads.iges.org/grads> is an interactive desktop tool for easy access, manipulation, and visualization of earth science dat GDal: GDal is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats that is released under an X/MIT <http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/FAQGeneral#WhatlicensedoesGDALOGRuse> style Open Source <http://www.opensource.org/> license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation <http://www.osgeo.org/>. So it looks to me both deal with gridded data (gdal->raster, gdal->Grid Analysis ...), earth data etc... I see that Grads describes itself as interactive ... Anyway, does anyone know and if so could they enlighten me? thanks matt
