Thank you for your response. Unfortunately it does not work because the values can be only numeric in taylor_metric_table.ncl.<br>
Best regards,<br>

Subject: Re: [ncl-talk] how can I write large float value with e scientific notation?<br>
<br>
Dear Beáta,<br>
<br>
I suppose, the sprintf-function can help you here. It's a function to convert floats (and doubles) to formatted strings.<br>
For example, an appropriate format for your bias-values may be<br>
<br>
sprintf("%10.5g",bias)<br>
<br>
where the exponential notation is used as long as the precision being defined by the number 5.<br>
<br>
For further examples, you can also consult the attached<br>
