Satellite projections have their own page.
You can view lambert conformal projections
under the regional climate model. There are numerous examples of
cylindrical equidistant and
polar stereographic projections.
In order to zoom in on a region the four resources
mpMinLatF,
mpMaxLatF,
mpMinLonF,
and
mpMaxLonF
must be set. The thing to remember, is that
mpLimitMode must also be set to "LatLon". The gsn_csm
cylindrical equidistant and polar stereographic plot templates set this
resource for you, so it is easy to overlook.
Projections
proj_1.ncl:
An example of a Mollweide projection.
mpProjection = "Mollweide", Selects the projection type. The default look for this plot has a box perimeter, and no lat/lon lines.
mpGridAndLimbOn = True
mpGridLatSpacingF = 20.
mpGridLonSpacingF = 30.
Turns on the lat/lon lines and sets the spacing for each. The default is very dense.
mpPerimOn = False, Turns off the box perimeter.
proj_3.ncl:
An example of a orthographic projection.
mpCenterLonF = -120.
mpCenterLatF = 50.
Chooses the center longitude and latitude.
