[ncl-talk] Problem with CFS initial condition data plot in NCL

[Nicolas GASNIER]

Hi,

With the xaxis_1 and yaxis_1 variables you should try to build a lat and 
lon 2d arrays matching your data grid dimensions. Then use these 2d 
arrays as sfXArray and sfYArray plotting ressource.

Something like this (untested) :

xaxis_1 = fin->xaxis_1
yaxis_1 = fin->yaxis_1

lon2d = new((/720, 410/), float)
do i=0,719
     lon2d(i, :) = xaxis_1
end do

lat2d = new((/720, 410/), float)
do i=0,409
     lat2d(:, i) = yaxis_1
end do


gen_res = True
gen_res at sfXArray = lon2d
gen_res at sfYArray = lat2d

Then pass that ressource to your plotting function.

Hope that helps.
