[ncl-talk] Coordinate Subscripting

Sun Jan 20 18:40:24 MST 2019

I got the time that I expected; however, it is showing again the same error:
fatal:NclOneDValGetClosestIndex: Non-monotonic coordinate value being used,
can't complete coordinate subscript
fatal: Could not obtain coordinate indexes, unable to perform subscript
fatal:["Execute.c":8637]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 63 in file
subs_time.ncl

plot = gsn_csm_contour_map(wks,prc_reorder({19980501},:,:),res)    ; 63 line

What can I do?
