Re: Question about picking a region

oops! I misread the question ... thx

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

   x = f->X ; -180 to +180
   x = lonFlip(x) ; reorder to 0 - 360

   latS = -30.0
   latN = 30.0
   lonL = 150.
   lonR = 240.
   y = x(:,{latS:latN},{lonL:lonR})
   printVarSummary(y)
