The file used in the 'static' examples is different from the WRF 'wrfout_' used in
several other examples. For example the 'wrfout_' files use the file
attribute MAP_PROJ to
indicate the map projection (1 = LambertConformal, 2 = Stereographic, 3 = Mercator)
while this 'static' file uses a character variable "grid_type" to indicate the
map projection. The easist way to determine the grid type is to use the ncdump
utility which is distributed with netCDF.
ncdump -v grid_type file_name.nc
The grid_type may entered into the plot script. If the grid_type is listed as
"secant (or tangent) Lambert Conformal" one should use
mpProjection
= "LambertConformal".
The variables on this file are stored as four dimensional
(record, z, y, x). However, both the "record" and "z" dimensions are of
size 1. All the examples read the variables to be plotted as
x = f->X(0,0,:,:). In this case, x will be a 2D variable z(y,x).
