[ncl-talk] WRF and Surface Data Not Lining Up

[Rick Brownrigg]

Ummmm...I'm getting "corrupt file" messages out of ncl/ncl_filedump, and if
you say the file is about 3gb, all I got was a 1.6GB download from the FTP
site, which makes me suspect we filled up the file system and the upload
was incomplete :-(   I don't have direct access to clearing that up, so it
may take some time.

In the meantime, you have this code that generates the plot you're getting:

;  Create scatter plot
   wks = gsn_open_wks("pdf", "Brighton_Test")
   res = True
   res at tiMainString = "Brighton Weekly Scater"
   res at gsnMaximize         = True
   res at xyMarkLineModes     = (/"Markers","Lines"/)
   res at xyMarkers           = 16
   res at xyMarkerColor       = "red"
   res at xyMarkerSizeF       = 0.005
   res at xyDashPatterns      = 1
   res at xyLineThicknesses   = (/1,2/)
   res at tiXAxisString = "Snotel (mm)"
   res at tiYAxisString = "WRF (mm)"
   plot1 = gsn_csm_xy(wks,prec_wk_cum,wrf_prec_wks_cum,res)

The plot you want has one Y value per X value, and the plot you are getting
has multiple Y values per X value. You might take a hard look at the
dimensionality of the variables "prec_wk_cum" and "wrf_prec_wks_cum"
(printVarSummary) to see if you can reconcile what's going on.

I hope that helps...
Rick
