[ncl-talk] Fourier decompose

As per the below;

 ntim = 8
 nlat = 6
 mlon = 8
  x = *random_normal*
<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/random_normal.shtml>(
10, 5, (/ntim,nlat,mlon/) )
  xNew = new( *dimsizes*(x), "float")

  do nt=0,ntim-1
                                                      ; ANALYSIS

     coef = *fft2df* (x(nt,:,:_)          ; *coef:          ;   [2] x
[6] x [5] ;     [2] x [nlat] x [mlon/2+1]*
; do something with coef *<== *YOUR* responsibility*

      xNew(nt,:,:) = *fft2db*
<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/fft2db.shtml>
(coef)          ; SYNTHESIS

  end do

We can see that longitude is reduced from 8 to 5..

Can we place time dimension on that place keeping latxlon as total
grid points in the 2 nd dimension?

Otherwise at the time of spatial plot, no.of grids will be short due
to the reduction along longitude.

Kindly inform me about the above issue.

Let me know if I am thinking wrong in it.


Thanking you,

Soma
