<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span>I'm using TRMM precipitation features swath data. In this data, for each orbit, the variables size changes (dimensions number remains same) because only precipitation pixels are recording in the file. I want read
<span>reflectivity</span> profile in multiple files (~7000 files) using addfiles and join operation. I know that join requires that variables in each file must be the same size. So, my question is: is there a way to conform the dimension sizes of variables
while reading the files? Is it possible to read in NCL a variable with different dimension size in each file? Or any other suggestion how could I manipulate this variable as one file for statistical analysis?</span><br>
