Re: sptial distribution

Hi Chao,

The fastest varying dimension in fortran is the leftmost dimension of
the array. In your case ilon... The fastest varying dimension in ncl is
the rightmost dimension... The fastest varying dimension maps to the
fastest varying dimension, so upon read-in into NCL, longitude should be
the rightmost dimension.

data = asciiread("./annl_avg_emi95.dat" \
                       , (/spe_nbr,lat_nbr,lon_nbr/),"float")
