[ncl-talk] Unable to Generate 2nd Plot on NCL Script

The error message pretty much says it all: argument (1) (which in ncl is the second argument) of gsn_csm_xy() is the wrong data type.

If you look at the function description for gsn_csm_xy(), argument 1 (i.e. ‘time2’ in your example, has to be numeric, but from what I can tell from your script time2 is actually a string. You can check this using either print(typeof(time2)) OR printVarSummary(time2) – both will return the data type,

Subject: [ncl-talk] Unable to Generate 2nd Plot on NCL Script

To Whom it May Concern-

I have been trying to create a script that will hold the frame on my output so we caqn do a side by side comparison of our data in one figure. One data file is a CSV excel file (for which I have generated code to make it readable within NCL) and the other is a netcdf file. When I comment out my 2nd plot command (line 125), I am able to generate the 1st figure without any errors. However, when I try to run the 2nd plot command, I get an"Argument mismatch on argument" error. This error is attached for your reference.

Your guidelines ask to be able to run the code as I am, so I have also taken the liberty of attaching the data. My best guess is maybe the error is because I'm trying to recycle the resources from my 1st plot in my 2nd?

I have also commented out a few extra lines that are "how to's" for me since I'm still very new to NCL. I am operating on version 6.5.

 Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide on this and let me know if you have any clarification questions!

Respectfully,
