<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Laura,<br><br></div>There are too many TRMM products to have examples for all of them. Under the HDF suite of examples, see:<br><br><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/HDF.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/HDF.shtml</a><br><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/hdf4sds_6.ncl" target="_blank">hdf4sds_6.ncl</a><br><br></div>This is for a specific TRMM 2A12 file.<br><br></div>I modified it slightly (see attached).<br><br></div>The script exits after the 'global' plot. The reason (as you can see after looking at the 1st plot) is that the INDIA region used for the 2A12 file is not appropriate for the 2B31 file. I just do not have the time to make the minor changes to select a specific region.<br><br></div>An aside: the function 'stat_dispersion'<br> <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/stat_dispersion.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/stat_dispersion.shtml</a><br><br></div>was originally developed for looking at satellite swath data. Depending on the swath and quality level, there can be many outliers and this helps make an assessment. In the case of the 2B31 file, there are *many* 0s. A 'trick' is to set the 0s to _FillValue and then see the distribution of non-zerro values. See code.<br><br></div>HTH<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 16, 2016 at 8:51 PM, Laura Fowler <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:laura@ucar.edu" target="_blank">laura@ucar.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi ncl users:<br>
<br>
I browsed through the examples that show how to plot TRMM data, but I<br>
did not find an example on how to plot high-resolution orbital data.<br>
Is there an example that I can used to plot 2B31 TRMM data?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
