Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS)

WARNING

seawif data is NOT on a native grid projection. Do not use native plotting techniques with this data.

You must have NCL version 4.2.0.a025, or later to plot this data.
seawif_1.ncl: An cylindrical equidistant seaWiFS plot from an hdf file.

gsn_csm_contour_map_ce is the plot interface that creates a cylindrical equidistant plot.

There is no coordinate information on the file, it has to be created. See the script for the specifics.
seawif_2.ncl: The same plot as example 1, but on a satellite projection.

gsn_csm_contour_map is the plot interface that allows the user to select which type of projection they want. You can see more ways to modify satellite projections on the satellite projection example page
