[ncl-talk] short2flt

[Dennis Shea]

I have your file and I have no problems reading the data with 6.3.0 or the
beta (6.4.0). I do not have 6.2.1 available.
OlgaKelbin.ncl:

   diri = "./"
   fili = "ERA2T63_SFC_DM_19810101_20141201.nc"
   f    = addfile(diri+fili, "r")

   t2m_short = f->t2m                ; explicitly import the 'short'
variable
   printVarSummary(t2m_short)
   printMinMax(t2m_short, 0)
   print("-----")

   t2m = short2flt(t2m_short)     ; convert to float
   printVarSummary(t2m)
   printMinMax(t2m, 0)
   print("-----")

   T2M = short2flt( f->t2m )        ; direct from file
   printVarSummary(T2M)
   printMinMax(T2M, 0)
   print("-----")

The output is attached.

As I noted, the 'totype' function is not used within 'short2flt'. Something
is not right but I have no idea what the problem might be.

=====
Offline, you sent me the following which resulted in a 'segmentation fault'

ncl <return>


a = addfile("ERA2T63_SFC_DM_19810101_20141201.nc","r")

t2m = a=>t2m

printVarSummary(t2m)

era_hlp  = short2flt(t2m)

printVarSummary(era_hlp)


quit


and get  a segmentation fault...   <======

Again, I am not sure what the problem might be. We can not replicate it.

++++++
You could send me the 6.2.1 contributed.ncl that you are using.

%> cp
$NCARG_ROOT/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl contributed.ncl_621

Then send me this version of contributed.ncl_621 via email (gzip) or send
to the ftp site.

Regards
D
