Dear Dennis,
I could find the script I was looking for (
http://hdfeos.org/zoo/MORE/LaRC/CALIPSO/CAL_LID_L2_VFM-Standard-V4-10.2009-07-13T08-27-14ZD.hdf.v.ncl
) under this page: http://hdfeos.org/zoo/LaRC_CALIPSO_ncl.php.

I need to plot the following latitude: 32 N - 38 N.

I should plots CALIPSO data for different months for my study area.
However, as CALIPSO overpasses are not the same for a certain area, after
setting the below command lines in the script I got plots for another
latitude.

lat = hdf_file->Latitude(1650:1500,0)
profile = fcf(1650:1500,1165:5514)

So how can I have plots exactly for latitude between 32 N and  38 N, please?

Many thanks in advance,
Best wishes,
