Hi Brandon,
Your attachment did not come through, but based on your description it
sounds like you will need to create a 3rd array that you design using the
input from your first two arrays (where X = 0 and X = 1.) For example, the
following will create an array that contains values ranging from -3 to 3
corresponding to positive/negative trends and their significance. This
hopefully provides you with a starting point:
arr3 = arr(1,:,:)   ; create new array  using metadata from arr
arr3 = 0.
arr3 = where(arr(1,:,:).ge.0.and.arr(0,:,:).ge..90,1,arr3)
arr3 = where(arr(1,:,:).ge.0.and.arr(0,:,:).ge..95,2,arr3)
arr3 = where(arr(1,:,:).ge.0.and.arr(0,:,:).ge..99,3,arr3)
arr3 = where(arr(1,:,:).lt.0.and.arr(0,:,:).ge..90,-1,arr3)
arr3 = where(arr(1,:,:).lt.0.and.arr(0,:,:).ge..95,-2,arr3)
arr3 = where(arr(1,:,:).lt.0.and.arr(0,:,:).ge..99,-3,arr3)
Then you can go on to plot the arr3 array.
If you have further questions let ncl-talk know.
