[ncl-talk] unable to extract data and plot it for a smaller domain.

Thu Sep 17 12:05:18 MDT 2020

Hi.
This issue was sorted out a few days ago. Now I  am finding a small problem which is the shift of the position of the clouds.
I mean when I plot the data for regional domain, clouds seem to be shifted by about 2 degree compared to the original domain plot (attachments) .

Requesting once again to sort out this issue too. 
Geeta.

 Are the latitude and longitudes on the file?
1) If "yes", just read as indicated below.2) If "no",  the projection information must be used to generate the latitude and longitude information
------------------------
The following functions may be useful when the latitudes and longitudes are available

region_ind

getind_latlon2d

-------------------------
 f = addfile("3DIMG_23JUN2018_0300_L1C_ASIA_MER.h5" , "r")

 glon2d = f->...longitude_variable ...
 glat2d = f->...latitude_variable...

 printMinMax(glat2d, 0)
 printMinMax(glon2d, 0)

 latS = 10 ; California [*rough*]
 latN = 20
 lonW = 70
 lonE = 75

 ji = region_ind (glat2d,glon2d, latS, latN, lonW, lonE)

 jStrt = ji(0) ; lat start
 jLast = ji(1) ; lat last
 iStrt = ji(2) ; lon start
 iLast = ji(3) ; lon last

 LAT2D = glat2d(jStrt:jLast,iStrt:iLast)
 LON2D = glon2d(jStrt:jLast,iStrt:iLast)

 printMinMax(LAT2D, 0)
 printMinMax(LON2D, 0)

 ; read data just for the region of interest
 x = f->IMG_TIR1(0,jStrt:jLast,iStrt:iLast)
 printVarSummary(x)

 printMinMax(x)

the NxM grid is the larger grid,  of the size 55N and 61E.

will it be minI  = 70* 61/(105.5-44.5) ??

does not seem to be correct, I am not achieving anything

 Hi,

No, not in meters -- you're trying to find the indices of the grid cells that correspond to the corners of your smaller domain. For instance, what are the values i,j that correspond to the corner (-10N,44.5E)

Soory Mr Rick. It is not clear to me.

4 corners of large  domain are  (-10N,44.5E) , (-10,105.5), (45.5,105.5), (45.5,44.5).

I want small domain to be 10-20N/70-75E.

So I have to calculate the X Y (distance in meters)?.

kindly clarify .

Geeta.

 Hi,

I *think* the trick here is to compute the i,j indices of the grid that correspond to your smaller domain. Since it's a mercator projection, and the original domain is relatively small (60x60 degs), I would think you could get decent results by using a simple linear scaling to find those values. So if the grid is NxM (LatxLon), and you extract the min/max lat/lons from the attributes into variables minLon, maxLon, etc.,  then something like:

  minI = tointeger( minLonSmallerDomain * (M -0) / (maxLon - minLon) )  ; truncating

  maxI = tointeger( maxLonSmallerDomain * (M -0) / (maxLon - minLon) )...similarly for Y...

and then:

 Plot(0)                           =       gsn_csm_contour_map(wks,TIR1_INVERTED(0,minJ:maxJ,minI:maxI),rescount)

and don't forget to substitute appropriate values into the mpLeft/RightCornerLat/LonF resources.

Does that make sense?

The lat/lon are not provided.

Plotting the TIR1 (count), radiance and Brightness temperature for the entire domain is happening by using information from the Projection info. This INFO is used from the Line numbers 109-114 of the code.

My questions are 1. I am Not able to plot the data for a smaller domain of my ineterst

                          2. since I am unable to attch the lat/lon arrays to the variables, I am unable to plot the data for a smaller domain and unable to write the data for a smaller domain of my intererst.

the Images are attached.

Request someone to help me.
