; ============================================================== ; eof_1.ncl ; ; Concepts illustrated: ; - Calculating EOFs ; - Drawing a time series plot ; - Using coordinate subscripting to read a specified geographical region ; - Rearranging longitude data to span -180 to 180 ; - Calculating symmetric contour intervals ; - Drawing filled bars above and below a given reference line ; - Drawing subtitles at the top of a plot ; - Reordering an array ; ============================================================== ; NCL V6.4.0 has new functions eofunc_n_Wrap and ; eofunc_ts_n_Wrap that allow you to calculate the EOFs without ; first having to first reorder the data.
