[ncl-talk] Generate a quarter of a degree grid with landsea_mask

[Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate]

Yes you can.  However, landsea_mask interpolates from a 1 degree source
mask.  Notice the footnote about resolution on the landsea_mask doc page.

For higher resolution grids, you will get a more accurate land sea mask if
you extract from an appropriate resolution shape file.  See examples
mask_12 and shapefiles_11 on the NCL shapefiles example page.  In
particular, see the function shapefile_mask_data which is used by these
examples.  That function and its documentation are in a separate include
file, not in the normal NCL function docs.
