[ncl-talk] CMIP5 tos Problem

The code I sent you should plot the data. Did you try it???

-----

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/popscal.shtml

AT the top:

As of NCL version 4.2.0.a025, pop data that has 2D lat/lon coordinates can
be plotted directly in physical space. To do this, simply read in the two
dimensional arrays containing the grid point coordinates and assign the
arrays to the variable to be plotted as attributes with the specific names
lon2d and lat2d:


       lat2d     = f->TLAT
       lon2d     = f->TLONG
       t at lon2d   = lon2d
       t at lat2d   = lat2d

====
NCL version 4.2.0.a025 was made available in 2002.

====

ACtually, there are likely 100+ examples of plotting different
curvilinear gridded data on the NCL website.

Good luck
