[ncl-talk] hovmoller diagram and reshape function

[Ramchandra Karki]

Dear NCL users,I have hourly wrf arw output and plotted the hovmoller diagramme  along the cross section of two points  for july as monthly average of each hour (average value of 0 hour, 1 hour ........23 hour of each day) precipitation for whole month ( 24 values ).ploted hovmoller for  hourly time  vs cross section grid of two points.i have used reshape function however i am confused whether its producing right output or not.(use of reshape function for my purpose). (array as 24, number of days, ncross_section_points and averaging for days furthermore, I would like to convert the UTC time to local time (5:45 hour ahead of UTC) in my plot but could not get idea to do so.I look forward for getting feedback from you.my script
; This script is used to plot ; get each hour average value for 24 hours; get data along two point section; plot hovmoller for time vs grid along section
