Hi NCL users</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I am not able to plot 20 years of MODIS data spatially. Each file (every year) has 3.3 GB.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
And I get the ncl message "<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);display:inline">killed</span>" when I try to plot. It is probably a lack of memory, although it is using a machine with 64
GB of memory.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
So, any ideas how I could read this data and plot, perhaps decreasing its size? <br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
The original data was in hdf, but the ncl also breaks if I try to read 20 years of data at once to plot, so I separated each file by year, selecting the variable and region of interest, creating netcdf files. <br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">

</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Thanks for any help</div>
</div>
