[ncl-talk] Time Vs Lat/Lon

I am sorry for that sir. It was by mistake.

Just one more question,

The given file was in 0.5x0.6 resolution. I regrid the data into 0.015
resolution. Also, I masked the data within Indian region. And then I run
the same code for the updated file. then it starts giving error as
Subscript out of range, error in subscript #0
at the line
time_min(gg,hh)  = (/ toint(time(arr_min(gg,hh))) /)


the new regrinding str is
#
# gridID 1
#
gridtype  = lonlat
gridsize  = 5273664
xsize     = 2497
ysize     = 2112
xname     = lon
xlongname = "longitude"
xunits    = "degrees_east"
yname     = lat
ylongname = "latitude"
yunits    = "degrees_north"
xfirst    = 59
xinc      = 0.015625
yfirst    = 5.0078125
yinc      = 0.015625
