[ncl-install] Regarding ncfile data visualiation

[Kevin Hallock]

Hi Vijay,

The two commands you provided were:

$ ncl filename.ncl

and:

ncl 0> ncl uv300.ncl

The first command looks like it is being run in a shell (sh/bash/csh/ksh) environment based on the “$” prompt, while the second command appears to be running in the NCL interactive environment as indicated by the “ncl 0>” prompt. The first command should work if the file “filename.ncl” exists. The second command is actually running in an NCL environment and is not valid NCL code, which is why you received the “fatal:syntax error”.

Was there any output when you tried running “ncl filename.ncl” in your shell environment?

As a new NCL user, you might find some useful information in the NCL User Guide <https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/NCL_User_Guide/>.

Also, for future reference the ncl-talk at ucar.edu mailing list (register here <https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/email_lists.shtml>) is the best place to ask questions related to NCL usage; more users will see your question and you’ll be more likely to receive a quick response.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

I hope this helps!
Kevin
