Re: masking subregions in a country shapefile

Hi Kristina,

How large are the arrays on your shapefile? Would you be able to provide your script and data so I can take a look? See this URL for ftp information:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/report_bug.shtml

Also, what version of NCL are you running? NCL Version 6.0.0 was a major overhaul of the software that allows you to have larger dimension sizes (> 2GB) on 64-bit machines.
I'm kind of surprised that you'd be exceeding this limit on a shapefile, so that's why I'm interested in seeing it.

Thanks,

--Mary
