Category List of NCL Application Examples

This page contains links to hundreds of NCL scripts, and in most cases, a link to the graphic produced by that script. You can download any one of these scripts and plug in your own datasets. You can also download all of the scripts as a compressed tar file. (Use "tar -xvf ApplicationScripts.tgz" to extract the scripts.)

Some of the datasets used in these examples are available for download. If you need access to a dataset that doesn't have a link, send Mary Haley an email.

Most of the examples on this Applications page use the GSUN interfaces. We recommend that users install the .hluresfile in their home directory before running any of these scripts.

Click on any green category for a separate page of that categories listings only, and possibly more information.
