Re: calipso (hdf_eos) contour plot

Hi Dennis,

You are right:) I got the same results. However, I want to get the contour plot
within lat(15N,45N) and lon(170E, 180E) of pacific ocean area. Do you have any
idea to how to do it? BTW, variable Feature_Optical_Depth_532 has dimensional
(4001,8), which means profiles number and layers. My question is how to
contact this variable with lat&lon, then get the contour plot within above
domain?

Thanks for your great help and valuable time!
