[ncl-talk] Creating extinction coefficient spatial map from calipso L2

[Sunmin Park]

Dear NCL users

I am trying to create daily extinction coefficient spatial map from CALIPSO L2 to get daily mean map. CALIPSO L2 provides around 30 files per day (01/01/2013) (by measurement time and regions). I am reading only one file to get the spatial map from the time and region. Like vdata I need to read latitude and longitude from the file (not hiding its on the list). I read lat and lon then I used “new” function and create 3D variable. I got figure however it showed lines (attached) but I need spatial map. I think I did setup lat and lon incorrectly but I am not clear about it. 

Could you please help me to create spatial map of extinction coefficient?

I do appreciate any comments and helps (Attached script).

Best,
Sun-

information:

Variable "Extinction_Coefficient_532”     
float Extinction_Coefficient_532(fakeDim30=3728, fakeDim31=399);
:units = "km^-1”;
:format = “Float_32”;
:valid_range = "0.0…1.25”;

Variable “Latitude"
float Latitude(fakeDim0=3728, fakeDim1=3);
:units = "deg”;
:format = "Float_32”;
:valid_range = "-90.0...90.0”;

Variable “Longitude"
float Longitude(fakeDim2=3728, fakeDim3=3);
:units = "deg”;
:format = "Float_32”;
:valid_range = "-180.0...180.0";
