<div>The data in "<a href="http://myfile.nc" target="_blank">myfile.nc</a>" are North American
Great Lakes area temperature contour data (the large boundary is middle and East
of US and Canada, and I have narrowed the map latitude and longitude to Great
Lakes area, but the results looks nothing about my data, it looks like all over
the world or East Asian area, it is why I used lon = lon - 180). My object is to
figure out Great lakes Area temperature contour.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I think my error is like NCL message said (I didn't read in correct
dimensions and coordinates), but I can't 100% understand "<a href="http://myfile.nc" target="_blank">myfile.nc</a>" via NCL mini manuals, and don't know how
to write tha correct scripts that can read in "<a href="http://myfile.nc" target="_blank">myfile.nc</a>" (with dimensions: y, x, time and
time_bnd)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I attach "<a href="http://myfile.nc" target="_blank">myfile.nc</a>" inside the attachment,
hope you can help this,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
