Echo,
I assume you are talking about using the gsn_csm_pres_hgt plotting
function?
If so, the main requirements are:
- The input data must be 2D and the leftmost dimension must
represent pressure, the rightmost dimension latitude or longitude
(although I think the function will work if the rightmost dimension
is something else).
- The leftmost dimension of the input data must have a coordinate
array attached, with units of pascals, hecto-pascals, or millibars.
The routine will look for a "units" attribute attached to your
coordinate array to verify this.
If you are running into problems because your pressure coordinate
array doesn't have a "units", then you can attach one yourself.
For example, if the data variable is called "u", and your level
dimension is called "lev", then you can do this:
u&lev@units = "mb" ; if millibars
u&lev@units = "pa" ; if pascals
If you are not sure about your data, do a "printVarSummary" on it:
printVarSummary(u)
If you see that "u" contains a coordinate array, then you can also do
a printVarSummary on it, to see what the units are:
printVarSummary(u&lev) ; just an example, you'll need to enter
the correct level dimension name
