Re: classification problem

Hi Shinn,

There's no way in NCL to get the lat/lon values of a particular area as you describe, although we have it on our list.

You might be able to find a shapefile with this information, and then you could use gc_inout to determine whether a given point is inside or outside that area.

Please see examples shapefiles_4.ncl and shapefiles_5.ncl on this page:

However, how can I get the coordinates (lat/lon) information for the outline of the countries? Have anyone done this before? Is there any easier way to classify the storm track? Thank you.
