For what it's worth, I have a nearly identical script that plots MODIS vegetation green-up instead of snow. The MODIS green-up script produces plots just fine, there are no errors. I cannot find any differences in the two scripts that would explain this.

I'm running the script on Casper, not my personal computer. I've been using the delete function to delete every variable not need for plotting along the way. I'll try requesting more memory on Casper. Looks like the default is 1.87 GB per core.

<div>Hi Elizabeth,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>errno=12 is indeed an "unable to allocate memory" error on linux/MacOS systems. Why it manifests in the mapping codes is unclear, but that does sort of suggests that the memory depletion is happening late in the game; i.e., it sounds like you've successfully
read and processed the data and are at the final plotting stage. You might try using the NCL delete() function to free up memory used by variables that are no longer needed for plotting. Another suggestion would be to shutdown any large memory-footprint applications
that may be running on your system at the time (e.g., browsers, wordprocessors, etc.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope that helps...</div>

It is a rather memory intensive script (500 m MODIS data), but the ".names" file error 2 is throwing me off. I've successfully plotted other MODIS data using a similar script, so I'm not sure whats different about this one.
