Luiz,

I haven't used Grads so I don't know the immediate answer. On the Grads
home page, it states that it displays station data (buoy data).  It also
states GrADS uses a 4-Dimensional data environment: longitude, latitude,
vertical level, and time, these variables are in the buoy netCDF file.
Maybe the documentation at: http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/ could
answer your question or send your question to Grads support.

Thanks,
Robb...
