Hi,

I am a GDAL newbie. I just got handed a group of files with the following description:

description of the data
1) content: rain == 10 day precipitation analysis by merging GTS gauge observations and 3 kinds of satellite estimates
                  (GPI,SSM/I, and AMSU)
2) coverage:
       -40.00S -- 40.00N Northward;
20.00W -- 55.00E Eastward 751 grid points in east - west direction
       801 grid points in south - north direction

   3)  resolution:
       0.1 deg lat x 0.1 deg lon
dekad
   4)  missing values
       -999.0

I'd like to read and manipulate these files using GDAL. When I run gdalinfo, I get something like the following:

Macintosh-4:RFE_dekedal gregederer$ gdalinfo 10day_precip.bin.1999121
ERROR 4: `10day_precip.bin.1999121' not recognised as a supported file format.

gdalinfo failed - unable to open '10day_precip.bin.1999121'.

I suspect that GDAL requires some additional metadata in order to read these files. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Greg
