[ncl-talk] Use the same data, but got two different results based on Matlab and NCL

[Dennis Shea]

Well, I am not sure how Matlab generated the plot.

The golden rule of data processing is *look at your data*

Just extracting an example script and plugging in a few variables does not work.

===

The attached script has many 'printVarSummary' .... look at each

The lat/lon coordinates have mapping infomation that you should use.

===
There are some NCL manuals tutoorials
   http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/

Mini-Language Manual

and two tutorials

DKRZ: NCL Tutorial Version 1.1

This is a very nice combination of the Mini-Language Manual and an
excellent introduction to NCL graphics. We recommend this manual as a
starting point if you are learning NCL.

It was created by Karin Meier-Fleischer and Michael Böttinger of DKRZ
(Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum). It also mentions the Climate Data
Operators (CDO) which were created at Max Planck Institute for
Meteorology.
