Re: MJO Phase diagram

Abhik,

Gibies is correct that you need to move the initial plot call outside the loop, because you are clobbering it for every iteration on "n". Also, you put the call to open the workstation inside the do loop, which means that's going to get clobbered every time too.

This code is hard to debug without being able to run it. I can't tell why you have the "do n=0,9" loop. Is there a dependency on "n" somewhere inside the loop? You have a bunch of code inside this loop that I think should be outside of it. For example, you have:

  do n=0,9
  ymdStrt = year+"1016" ; start yyyymmdd
  ymdLast = year+"0415" ; last

  pltDir = "./" ; plot directory
  pltType = "eps"
  pltName = "mjoclivar" ; yrStrt+"_"+yrLast

  pltMovie= False ; animation
  pltTitle= "MJO Phase: 15S-15N: "

All of these variables don't change inside the loop, so there's no reason for them to be there. Do loops can be expensive time-wise, so you want to keep them as minimal as possible.

Do you want a separate plot for each value of "n", or are you trying to draw things on the same plot for each value of "n"?

So I have introduced a do loop to read the multiple years data in the original script. However, it is reading all the years successfully but plotting only the last year. I am attaching the modified script. Please suggest me what to do?
