CALIPSO L2 provides around 30 files per day (01/01/2013) (by measurement time and regions). I am reading only one file to get the spatial map from the time and region. Like vdata I need to read latitude and longitude from the file (not hiding its on the list). I read lat and lon then I used “new” function and create 3D variable. I got figure however it showed lines (attached) but I need spatial map. I think I did setup lat and lon incorrectly but I am not clear about it. </font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;">Could you please help me to create spatial map of extinction coefficient?</font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;">I do appreciate any comments and helps (Attached script).<br><br>Best,<br>Sun-</font></div><div><font face="Times"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Times"><span style="font-size: 14px;">information:</span></font></div><div><br></div><div><font color="#0061ff"><font face="Times"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Variable "Extinction_Coefficient_532” </span></font><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Times;"> </span></font></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Times;"><font color="#0061ff">float Extinction_Coefficient_532(fakeDim30=3728, fakeDim31=399);</font></span></div><div><font face="Times" color="#0061ff"><span style="font-size: 14px;">:units = "km^-1”;</span></font></div><div><font face="Times" color="#0061ff"><span style="font-size: 14px;">:format = “Float_32”;</span></font></div><div><font face="Times" color="#0061ff"><span style="font-size: 14px;">:valid_range = "0.0…1.25”;</span></font></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Times;"><font color="#0061ff"><br></font></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Times;"><font color="#0061ff">Variable “Latitude"</font></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Times;"><font color="#0061ff">float Latitude(fakeDim0=3728, fakeDim1=3);</font></span></div><div><font face="Times" color="#0061ff"><span style="font-size: 14px;">:units = "deg”;</span></font></div><div><font face="Times" color="#0061ff"><span style="font-size: 14px;">:format = "Float_32”;</span></font></div><div><font face="Times" color="#0061ff"><span style="font-size: 14px;">:valid_range = "-90.0...90.0”;</span></font></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Times;"><font color="#0061ff"><br></font></span></div><div><font face="Times" color="#0061ff"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Variable “Longitude"</span></font></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Times;"><font color="#0061ff">float Longitude(fakeDim2=3728, fakeDim3=3);</font></span></div><div><font face="Times" color="#0061ff"><span style="font-size: 14px;">:units = "deg”;</span></font></div><div><font face="Times" color="#0061ff"><span style="font-size: 14px;">:format = "Float_32”;</span></font></div><div><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Times;"><font color="#0061ff">:valid_range = "-180.0...180.0";</font></span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div></div></body></html>
