[ncl-talk] Difference plot in NCL

[Tabish Ansari]

Hi Partha

You can use a simple logic (I am not writing in the exact syntax):

Lets say these are two arrays a[][] and b[][] and the resultant difference
array is c[][]. Of course all 3 arrays have same dimensions.

Just put a nested loop like:

do i=0, n-1
 do j=0, m-1
  if (a[i][j] or b[i][j] > 0.2)
    c[i][j] = a[i][j]-b[i][j]
  else
    c[i][j] = 0
 end do
end do

This will calculate the difference only if at least one of the arrays has
value > 0.2 otherwise it will store a zero value (or you may even store a
missing value)

Hope it helps!
