This was exactly that. I have removed the 721th column and kept 720 columns, and the raster was correctly imported and displayed (with correct coordinates, e.g. coast lines were compared to a georeferenced shapefile). So it may be of interest to check what was wrong with the raster provided from the FAO website on global climatological data (a rich documentation from http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/metadata.show?id=7417&currTab=simple). I was using the file on Annual Average Temperature (Leemans & Cramer 1989-FAO Agromet 1997). Whatever the export format: - the north coordinates exceeds 90° (due to an extra 361 column, not compatible with the global 0.5 degree grid) - I had detected that and removed it before coming to the list; - the eastern coordinates exceeds 180° (due to en extra 721 column !) - this was the origin of my help call... The workaround to get the data imported into grass is to edit an exported ascii file and to remove the extra row and column. Thanks Robert for the hint, Patrick [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
