Subject: plot_data_plane and NetCDF input file
From: George McCabe
Time: Wed Jan 13 13:16:13 2021

Hi Efren,

I see you are having trouble reading in NetCDF data with Plot-Data-
Plane.
It looks like there are 4 dimensions for the total_aod field. The
level you
specified only contains 2 dimensions.

level="(*,*)"

You will need to specify dimensions that match the data. The first
dimension is time (size 21) and the 2nd dimension is copy (size 1).
Also,
you are only able to read a single time into Plot-Data-Plane, so you
should
remove the start_time and end_time values.

If you want to read the first time in the file, you could set

level="(0, 0, *,*)"

If you want MET to find the appropriate time for you, you can specify
the
time value in the time dimension. I believe the syntax would be:

level="(20200801_00, 0, *,*)"

Let me know if you continue to have issues and I can take a closer
look.

Thanks,
George

Hi George - This is nice! Thanks for the response below. Also, I take
it that I could specify in the level ="()" a list of levels such as
level="[(20200801_00, 0, *,*), (20200801_06, 0, *,*), ...];" for each
field element.

Hi Efren,

For some MET tools, yes, you can specify a list of levels the way you
described. However, Plot-Data-Plane only takes a single name/level to
plot,
so it will not work for that tool.

How about for ensemble_stat or grid_stat? Those are the tools I'm
thinking. Feel free to close this ticket after your reply.

Hi Efren,

For some MET tools, yes, you can specify a list of levels the way you
described. However, Plot-Data-Plane only takes a single name/level to
plot, so it will not work for that tool.

Yes, those tools do support a list of field levels.
