<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I've been trying to analyze several Lambert Conformal Projection datasets including: DayMet 1km and NARR 32km.</div><div><br></div><div>Prior to running my DayMet NCL script (see attached), I post-processed the data using CDO and NCO to first split the yearly datasets into monthly datasets (splitmon in CDO) and then create monthly average datasets (ncra in NCO). I do a similar methodology for the NARR dataset too.<br clear="all">
<div><br></div><div>For a while, I would get error messages from my NCL script indicating this:</div><div><br></div><div>"check_for_y_lat_coord: Warning: Data either does not contain a valid latitude coordinate array or doesn't contain one at all.</div>
<div>(0) A valid latitude coordinate array should have a 'units' attribute equal to one of the following values:"</div><div><br></div><div>So, I added metadata assignments to my script to get around this error and now the NCL script finishes (with no errors) and generates the *.eps file. However, the file is only 2.2 KB and is only a blank white box (see attached).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Note: In the DayMet NCL script I have to flip the lat and lon indices for the SNOWLIQ variable because when I ncview the data it is a mirror image of what I actually want (might be a function of the CDO post-processing step). In my NARR dataset NCL script, I don't do this step, but still get a similar outcome with a blank page and 2.2 KB *.eps file.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any ideas as to what is going on?</div><div><br></div><div>Here are my environmental specifics too:</div><div><div>-NCAR Command Language Version 6.1.2</div></div><div>-Each Daymet file = 282 MB, so unfortunately I won't be able to attach the one specified in the NCL script</div>
