I am finding zeros where there should not be any. The issue seems to be coming from NCL incorrectly reading the dimensions of the hdf 5 file (he5). It happens for every file but here is an example:<br></div><div><br></div><div>The file: <a href="ftp://l5eil01.larc.nasa.gov/MOPITT/MOP02T.006/2010.09.07/MOP02T-20100907-L2V16.2.1.he5">ftp://l5eil01.larc.nasa.gov/MOPITT/MOP02T.006/2010.09.07/MOP02T-20100907-L2V16.2.1.he5</a><br><br></div><div>I have attached an example ncl file script (test3.ncl) that shows how I read in the file.<br><br></div><div>Differences:<br></div><div>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br></div><div><b>Using hdfview these are the correct values for the profile dimension:</b><br></div><div>OBJECT = Dimension_4<br></div><div> DimensionName="nPrs"<br></div><div> Size =9<br></div><div>END_OBJECT=Dimension_4<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b>Dimensions from an ncl_filedump gives:</b></div><div>nPrs_MOP02 = 10<br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br></div><div>All the other dimensions are identical in size, except for nTime, which in hdfview has a size of 2 and ncl_filedump gives a size of 208903 (the number of time values).<br><br></div><div>Also, the named dimensions of some variables are incorrect. Specifically for "RetrievalAveragingKernelMatrix" and "RetrievalErrorCovarianceMatrix" the named dimensions are not the same:<br></div><div><b>hdfview:</b> (ntime, nPrs2, nPrs2)<br></div><div><b>ncl_filedump:</b> (ntime_MOP02, nPrs2_MOP02,<span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)"> nPrs</span>_MOP02)<br></div><div>The averaging kernel and co-variance matrices should be 10x10 i.e. nPrs2, nPrs2.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone have any idea why NCL is incorrectly reading in the dimensions of nPrs and how I can fix it?<br><br></div><div>Specs: I'm running NCL version 6.1.2<br>uname-a gives<br>Linux mopfl 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 9 13:45:55 CDT 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux<br><br></div><div>Kind Regards,<br></div><div>Rebecca<br></div></div></div></div>
