Re: Rewriting nc files

The 1st rule of data processing is to "look at your data" before
proceeding:

%> ncdump -h olr.day.mean.nc

or

%> ncl_filedump olr.day.mean.nc

shows the following:

short olr(time, lat, lon) < olr is of type "short integer"

You must unpack the olr

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/short2flt.shtml

===
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"

   f = addfile("olr.day.mean.nc" , "r")
   olr = short2flt( f->olr )
or
   olr = short2flt( f->olr(200:400,:,:) )

   printVarSummary(olr)
