[ncl-talk] plotting itcz

[Dennis Shea]

Based on the figures in the Berry & Reeder reference., NCL was used to make
the plots [? computations ?].

If you are focused on the ITCZ of the South Asian Monsoon Sector and the
data are on a rectilinear grid*, *you could use NCL's coordinate
subscripting

  latS   = -10     ; arbitrary
  latN   =   40
  lonL =   40
  lonR  = 130

  f = *addfile(...)     *

  x3d = f->X(:,*{latS:latN},{lonL:lonR}*)   ; region only
  printVarSummary(x3d)

  z4d = f->Z(:,:, *{latS:latN},{lonL:lonR}*)
  printVarSummary(z4d)

*---*
when plotting a map

  res at gsnAddCyclic  = False    ; region
  res at mpMinLatF      = latS
  res at mpMaxLatF     = latN
  res at mpMinLonF     = lonL
  res at mpMaxLonF    = lonR
