Category List of NCL Application Examples
[
Example datasets | Templates]
This page contains links to hundreds of NCL scripts, and in most
cases, a link to the graphic produced by that script. You can
download any one of these scripts and plug in your own datasets. You
can also download all of the scripts as a compressed tar file. (Use
"tar -xvf ApplicationScripts.tgz" to extract the scripts.)
List of tips,
resources,
functions/procedures and the example scripts
they appear in. List of NCL application example
categories in alphabetical order.
Important: NCAR has made the decision to
adopt Python as the scripting language platform of choice for future
development of analysis and visualization tools. Please read
this open letter to NCL
users to understand what kind of impact this will have on the
future of NCL. To see some examples of Python scripts, visit
this page of NCL-to-Python examples, which
serve as a companion to the
NCL
to Python Transition Guide, both developed by Karin
Meier-Fleischer of DKRZ. Some Python versions of NCL examples referenced in the application pages are available on the GeoCAT-examples webpage.
