<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>grdvolume</b>
reads a 2-D binary grid file and calculates the volume
contained between the surface and the plane specified by the
given contour (or zero if not given) and reports the area,
volume, and maximum mean height (volume/area).
Alternatively, specify a range of contours to be tried and
<b>grdvolume</b> will determine the volume and area inside
the contour for all contour values. The contour that
produced the maximum mean height is reported as well. This
feature may be used with <b><A HREF="grdfilter.html">grdfilter</A></b> in designing an

<h2>GRID FILE FORMATS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> is
able to recognize many of the commonly used grid file
formats, as well as the precision, scale and offset of the
values contained in the grid file. When <b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> needs a
little help with that, you can add the suffix
<b>=</b><i>id</i>[<b>/</b><i>scale</i><b>/</b><i>offset</i>[<b>/</b><i>nan</i>]],
where <i>id</i> is a two-letter identifier of the grid type
and precision, and <i>scale</i> and <i>offset</i> are
optional scale factor and offset to be applied to all grid
values, and <i>nan</i> is the value used to indicate missing
data. See <b><A HREF="grdreformat.html">grdreformat</A></b>(1) and Section 4.17 of the GMT
Technical Reference and Cookbook for more information.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">When reading a
netCDF file that contains multiple grids, <b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> will
read, by default, the first 2-dimensional grid that can find
in that file. To coax <b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> into reading another
multi-dimensional variable in the grid file, append
<b>?</b><i>varname</i> to the file name, where
<i>varname</i> is the name of the variable. Note that you
may need to escape the special meaning of <b>?</b> in your
shell program by putting a backslash in front of it, or by
placing the filename and suffix between quotes or double
quotes. See <b><A HREF="grdreformat.html">grdreformat</A></b>(1) and Section 4.18 of the
GMT Technical Reference and Cookbook for more information,
particularly on how to read splices of 3-, 4-, or
5-dimensional grids.</p>
<a name="EXAMPLES"></a>
<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">To determine
the volume in km^3 under the surface hawaii_topo.grd (height
in km), use</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>grdvolume</b>
hawaii_topo.grd <b>−Sk</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">To find the
volume between the surface peaks.grd and the contour z =
250, use</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>grdvolume</b>
peaks.grd <b>−Sk −C</b> 250</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">To search for
the contour, between 100 and 300 in steps of 10, that
maximizes the ratio of volume to surface area for the file
peaks.grd, use</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>grdvolume</b>
peaks.grd <b>−Sk −C</b> 100/300/10 >
results.d</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">To see the
areas and volumes for all the contours in the previous
example, use</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>grdvolume</b>
peaks.grd <b>−Sk −Vl −C</b> 100/300/10
> results.d</p>
<a name="NOTES"></a>
<h2>NOTES</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>grdvolume</b>
distinguishes between gridline and gridcell oriented grids.
In both cases the area and volume are computed up to the
grid boundaries. That means that in the first case the
gridcells on the boundary only contribute half their area
(and volume), whereas in the second case all gridcells are
fully used. The exception is when the <b>−C</b> flag
is used: since contours do not extend beyond the outermost
gridpoint, both grid types are treated the same. That means
the outer rim in gridcell oriented grids is ignored when
using the <b>−C</b> flag.</p>
