The lon2d gives the longitude values for a horizontal 2D field. You have to make some choices to get a vertical plot -- you need to reduce the latitude dimension to a single element somehow. The simplest thing to do would be to just pick one index along the y axis of the lon coordinate -- e.g. lon2d(100,:). However, because the coordinates are 2d, the chances are that this would not be a constant latitude, so you could not say for instance that your plot represents height vs longitude at 10 degrees North latitude.</div><div><br></div><div>But with proper labeling you could describe what this plot does represent. I suggest you look at the NCL Examples page for Pressure/Height vs Longitude plots and specifically at the last example on the page called narr_6.ncl. It shows height plots for data where the coordinates are 2D (aka "curvilinear" coordinates). Notice that the X axis for these plots has both lat/lon values for the tickmark labels.This should give you some ideas of what the issues are and how to solve them. </div><div><br></div><div>Creating a plot where the latitude is constant would require a bit more work. But if you wanted to try you would probably want to use the function</div><div>getind_latlon2d. This might actually be a good topic for a future example.</div><div> -dave</div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div>On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 4:24 PM, Bedassa Regassa <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:beregassa@gmail.com" target="_blank">beregassa@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><p dir="ltr">I am new to ncl.
