[ncl-talk] Creating variables automatically

[Mateus da Silva Teixeira]

Hi,

Can I use string reference to create different variables in NCL?

I'm trying it

*do i = 1, 5*
*   varname = "cases_"+sprinti("%i",i)+"days"*
*   $varname$ = new( (/ nlat, nlon /), "float" )*

*   $varname$ = dim_avg_n(  slp( idxCases, :, : ), 0 )*
*end do*

But NCL is giving syntax error. It seems that I can't use string references
that way. So, would there be a way to do this?

Thanks.

Mateus
