If you are still getting that error message then your
latitude/longitude coordinate variables do not have valid units
attributes, as is stated in the error message. Please refer to the
FAQ I previously sent. You may have to do something like this:<br>
<br>
u&NbLongitudes@units = "degrees_east"<br>
u&NbLatitudes@units = "degrees_north"<br>
v&NbLongitudes@units = "degrees_east"<br>
v&NbLatitudes@units = "degrees_north"<br>
speed&NbLongitudes@units = "degrees_east"<br>
speed&NbLatitudes@units = "degrees_north"<br>
<br>
If that doesn't fix the issue let ncl-tal know. <br>

<div><font face="Verdana" size="2">Thanks for sending
printVarSummary's of your three arrays, as that likely
identifies the issue. Unlike your u and v arrays, your speed
array does not have any metadata/coordinate variables
associated with it. <br>
<br>
Try adding this after you create your speed array:<br>
copy_VarCoords(u,speed)<br>
<br>
Alternatively, you can do this:<br>
speed = u<br>
speed = (/ sqrt(u^2 + v^2) /) ; overwrite speed values, but
leave the metadata<br>
<br>
This is all assuming that your NbLongitudes / NbLatitudes have
units attributes set. See this FAQ here:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/FAQ/#err_msgs_027">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/FAQ/#err_msgs_027</a><br>
<br>
Finally, note that your u/v/speed arrays are dimensioned
longitude by latitude. The gsn_csm_vector_scalar_map_ce
plotting function expects the order to be latitude by
longitude. Thus, you will have to reorder your dimensions like
this:<br>
plot=gsn_csm_vector_scalar_map_ce(wks,u(NbLatitudes|:,NbLongitudes|:),v(NbLatitudes|:,NbLongitudes|:),speed(NbLatitudes|:,NbLongitudes|:),vcres)
<br>
<br>
Hope that helps. If you have any further questions please
respond only to the ncl-talk email list.<br>
