Your result is almost exactly what I’m trying to get. What I need is the average temperature / annual precipitation for all the counties together, not separate for each county or shapefile feature. I just tried it again with a shapefile in which each county is a separate feature, but unfortunately I got pretty much the same result as before. I attached the shapefiles (there are two sets, for counties with the center point east and west of the 100th meridian). I also attached a screenshot of the data result in Panoply and my NCL code.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I would greatly appreciate if you could take a look at the shapefile data and change it so it works correctly in NCL.<br class=""><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class="">
