[ncl-talk] Fwd: Make a plot

[Mary Haley]

Kwesi,

If you are new to NCL, I suggest that you start by looking at this tutorial:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8357888/homepage/tutoriais/ncl/NCL_Tutorial_V1.1.pdf

It's a very nice step-by-step tutorial on how to create NCL graphics. This
tutorial starts off with simple examples and then gradually moves onto more
complex examples.

To see some basic examples of plotting data over a map, go to our examples
page:

"Plotting data on a map"
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/plot_data_on_map.shtml

This gives you an overview of how to understand your data so you know how
to plot it correctly.  You have data on a rectilinear grid, which is
usually the easiest kind of data to plot, because the lat/lon arrays
associated with your data are actually attached to the variable when you
read the data in.

Please see the attached script, which I started for you, based on examples
dataonamap_1.ncl and dataonamap_7.ncl.

Hopefully you can take it from here, by reading the above tutorial, and
looking over some of the examples on our website:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/

You may also want to see our examples page that is specifically for
precipitation:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/HiResPrc.shtml

It says "high-res" on the page, but really, you can use this for low
resolution too.
