<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Chris,<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The issue is that you are subsetting your data by selecting a lat/lon area of interest, but then trying to plot this data using the projection defined for the original data. When you set the "tfDoNDCOverlay" resource to True, this signals
to NCL that you are plotting data in its "native" projection, and hence you need to set the map parameters exactly right for the data you are plotting.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are plotting the original data (see narr_plot.ncl), then you can use the map projection parameters on the file to plot the data. This script shows how to plot the data on both a cylindrical equidistant projection using the 2D lat/lon
arrays read off the file, and in the native projection using map projection information attached to the lat/lon arrays. I've attached the PNGs from this script.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to zoom in on the data, then unless you know the exact projection parameters for the zoomed data, you will have to subset the 2D lat/lon arrays in the same fashion as the data, and use these for plotting. See the attached narr_plot_zoom.ncl
and image.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, I took your original script and applied the same concepts I used in narr_plot_zoom.ncl. Instead of using tfDoOverlay, it uses the subsetted lat/lon arrays to get the overlay correct:<u></u><u></u></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Note that in narr_plot_zoom.ncl, I didn't use sfXArray / sfYArray. Instead, I used:<u></u><u></u></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">These are essentially the same thing. I was just lazy and didn't want to have to attach the special "lat2d" and "lon2d" attributes to every variable being plotted.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This gives us GRIB files like:

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I did this for 30 years of data ending 12-31-2010.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We then used an NCL script to do some calculations on a month of data, and write the results into a new file.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is the script:<u></u><u></u></p>

<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My apologies to those of you who actually know how to code in NCL. I am strictly an amateur at this.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is the file we created:
<u></u><u></u></p>

<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our problem seems to be aligning the data to the map background, as I can show with the following images:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The grey area in this image is supposed to be where the terrain is higher than the calculated value:<u></u><u></u></p>

<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The data mask area is too far to the west, even extending out over the ocean.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we plot it in the Unidata IDV we get what we expect:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://wx.erau.edu/faculty/herbster/demo/.hidden/NCL/IDV_4K_Mask_D-Val.png" target="_blank">http://wx.erau.edu/faculty/her<wbr>bster/demo/.hidden/NCL/IDV_4K_<wbr>Mask_D-Val.png</a>
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then we decided to try plotting it in Matlab as another test. We got:

<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://wx.erau.edu/faculty/herbster/demo/.hidden/NCL/Matlab_Plot_NARR_Mask.jpg" target="_blank">http://wx.erau.edu/faculty/her<wbr>bster/demo/.hidden/NCL/Matlab_<wbr>Plot_NARR_Mask.jpg</a>
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While I suspect that I am not doing something properly with the mapping of the data, I am also wondering about the results of making the NetCDF file from the ncl_convert command.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, is the compression lossy? I realized that the default compression is zero, so this step did not do much for disk space! (Actually made bigger files, but never mind.)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I load the original GRIB file into the IDV it displays the region properly without any problem. When I try to load the original NetCDF file, the IDV does not seem to know
the geographic region of the data. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This can be seen in the following images:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://wx.erau.edu/faculty/herbster/demo/.hidden/NCL/load-both-idv.png" target="_blank">http://wx.erau.edu/faculty/her<wbr>bster/demo/.hidden/NCL/load-<wbr>both-idv.png</a> shows
the Mean Sea Level Pressure data from both files. They appear to match. However, when I added the second panel (NetCDF file), the IDV did not display the data properly, and did so only after I selected a predefined CONUS projection (as shown).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I open the NetCDF file and plotted MSLP in a window by itself, I got this:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://wx.erau.edu/faculty/herbster/demo/.hidden/NCL/load-netcdf-idv.png" target="_blank">http://wx.erau.edu/faculty/her<wbr>bster/demo/.hidden/NCL/load-<wbr>netcdf-idv.png</a>
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had to zoom way out to display this data. It knows where to put the data, but the IDV thinks the data should be in the white box area, I think. (I’m not really sure about this
interpretation.)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The questions I have are:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="m_560658666012435325gmail-m_3060667888235971799m4321895138347317005msolistparagraph">1)<span style="font-size:7pt">
