<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Sri, there is something wrong with the time coordinates in fslp->time. You show values of [18500131.99444444..20051231.99444444], but units of "hours since 1850-01-31 23:15:00". Time coordinates should either be offsets relative to the base time in the units string, or else they should be decimal coded numbers. It looks like this file mixes the two approaches, resulting in your error. Relative offsets is the conventional approach, but decimal coded may also be used with care. Just don't mix the two.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>Do you prefer to fix the input file, or try to use the decimal time values the way they are written now? Please keep the conversation on the mailing list.</div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Apr 13, 2021 at 9:43 AM Sri nandini via ncl-talk <<a href="mailto:ncl-talk@mailman.ucar.edu">ncl-talk@mailman.ucar.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello dear ncl-users,<br>
<br>
I am trying to compute the model SOI index to draw a timeseries plot. I <br>
have studies the examples on the ncl page for indices_soi_1.ncl and <br>
indices_soi_2.ncl , and made my script as per the methods here. But each <br>
time an error occurs when reading the time: fatal:An error occurred <br>

Could someone reply to me offline, or help point me to a query or <br>
ncl-talk which already solved this or i can also transfer my datafile <br>
via ftp? Below is my script.<br>
