The error messages are giving you useful information about what the problem
is.
The first error message:
warning:ContourPlotSetValues: Data values out of range of levels set by
EXPLICITLEVELS mode
is telling you that the contour levels you chose are not in the same range
of your data. You chose these levels:
res at cnLevels = (/ 5.4, 6.2, 6.9, 7.4, 7.8, 8.6 /)
So you should look at your data (VERY IMPORTANT) to see what the range is
and make sure that your data intersects with this range of values.
"printMinMax" is useful for this:
printMinMax(maskedS(nt,:,:),0)
The second error message:
fatal:["Execute.c":5900]:variable (NAME_3) is not in file (citiesShapes)
is telling you that you are trying to reference a variable called "NAME_3"
from the "citiesShapes.shp" shapefile, but that the variable doesn't exist
on the file. You need to look at your shapefile to see what the variable
names are. You can either do this on the UNIX command line with:
ncl_filedump citiesShapes.shp
or you can do it inside the NCL script by using the "getfilevarnames"
function:
f = addfile("citiesShapes.shp", "r")
print(getfilevarnames(f))
If you continue to have problems, please look at the error messages closely.
