NCL map projections

NCL supports several map projections. If you have data that's on a particular map projection, you can easily project it onto a different map projection.

NCL also supports shapefiles, if you need to add map outlines that NCL doesn't have.

For information about drawing high-resolution coastlines, see this information on the RANGS/GSHHS database.

Here's the NCL script for generating these maps.

Aitoff	Azimuthal Equidistant	Cylindrical Equal Area
Cylindrical Equidistant	Gnomonic	Hammer
Lambert Conformal	Lambert Equal Area	Masked Lambert Conformal
Mercator	Mollweide	Orthographic
Polar Stereographic	Robinson	Rotated Mercator
Satellite	Stereographic	Winkel Tripel
