<div dir="ltr">Thanks for helping with this Rick!<div><br></div><div>I simplified what I have down considerably and now I think I'm much closer to getting it working. For my WRF data, I have it translating to a grid, and this returns variables called S_time and e_time that have the correct values. For some reason, when I try calling them in my gridpoint function I get an error though and I'm not sure why.</div><div><br></div><div>For the SNOTEL data, I have precip and time values subsetted (using TL_start and TL_end as my variables), but when I put them into cd_calendar it outputs an integer (that I believe to be hours since 1900). Using string to integer outputs the same.</div><div><br></div><div>So my 2 questions are 1. Why am I getting this error on my WRF data and 2. What is the easiest way to make the time values for my SNOTEL data plotable (since we cannot plot date strings).</div><div><br></div><div>I'll attach the data file here and my new code file.

With regard to the Dec 2000, when I open your file, I see that the range Jan1-Mar31 2001 is (8192:8218). Try printing those values and your original indices to verify.

My data runs from 1978 through 2013, but I'm trying to grab just Jan 1- Mar 31 2001. I subsetted this by determining the range of values I needed from the array to accomplish this and storing them as separate functions. However, when I outputted the values, I saw that the prec2_f (y-axis) variable was only outputting a bunch of 5s, which aren't even a value within that range of data. I also noticed my date2_f variable (x-axis) is slightly off and is showing dates from Dec 2000.</div><div><br></div><div> I was wondering if you might be able to help me determine why my values are off?
