Hi,
A binary data file can be read successfully as the following:
open(11,file=input,status='old',form='unformatted',
+ access='direct',recl=nx*ny*nz*4)
irec = 1
do n = 1 , nvar
read(11,rec=irec) var
irec = irec +1
end do
with pgf90 -byteswapio read.f
By NCL I"ve tried, but not successfully,
files = systemfunc("ls ../01_data/*.dat")
setfileoption ("bin", "ReadByteOrder", "LittleEndian")
do ivar = 0,nvar-1
data(:,:,:) = fbindirread(files(0),ivar,(/nz,ny,nx/),"float")
end do
Thanks for any suggestion.
Jeff

Jeff,
You said "not successfully". What was your symptom? Did you get any

My sincere apologies for my very rudimentary knowledge of ncl. I modified a script for plotting a weather station model. When I run it with X11 as output, it gives me a map of Rwanda without any plot on it, then when I click it plots on a blank page. With pdf as output I get a plot of stations but without the map.
If someone may spare a bit of their time and correct the line that is not correct in my script, I think I can learn quite a bit about ncl.
Thanks in anticipation

Hi Zilore,
Where you define the mpres resources, add:
mpres_at_gsnFrame = False
Then after the call to wmstnm(wks,lats,lons,imdat), add:
frame(wks)
(Also, there's a superfluous call to gsn_open_wks() near the bottom of your script that should be removed).
Hope that helps?
Rick

Thanks for including your script.
I'm not sure what you are trying to do with this line:
> plot = gsn_csm_xy (wks,transpose((/floatnames,floatnames/)), \
> transpose((/AB,AB/)),res)
>
The "floatnames" variable is a string, which you cannot pass to gsn_csm_xy for plotting.
The "transpose" function is supposed to be used for transposing a 2D array. For example, converting a 5 x 10 array to be a 10 x 5 array.
AB is a 1D array, so using transpose((/AB,AB/)) will give you an error.
I see that you are trying to create a scatter plot, but it's not clear to me which points you want to be different colors.
For example, you have 7 points in your AB array, but then 9 indexes in your "xyMarkers" array, and only 3 colors in your "colors" array.
If you want each grouping of markers to have a different color and marker style, then you must turn AB into an n x m array, where "n" represents the different groups of markers you want, and "m" represents the most markers you have in any group. If any group doesn't have "m" values, then the rest of the "m" values have to be filled in with missing values.
I don't know what your X axis values are supposed to be, so I used "gsn_csm_y", which just uses index values for the X axis.
See the attached "nand.ncl" script. I arbitrarily took your "AB" array and turned it into a 3 x 3 array, so I could use three different marker styles and colors on it.

Hello Wei-Jen
You are correct. The underlying fortran code had an error.
IF (X(ML,NL).EQ.XMSG) THEN
:
IF (NL.EQ.NLAT .AND. ML.EQ.MLON) THEN
:
+ X(ML-1,NL).NE.XMSG) THEN
should be
+ X(ML-2,NL).NE.XMSG) THEN
This has been corrected and a fix has been checked in.
Thank You

Dave,
Thanks for your suggestions - it took some experimenting but I've been able
to get a stereographic projection sans pole with grid lines and labels. A
rectangular map is fine for my purposes, but can one use any built in
resources to label the lat/lon lines of a map with an elliptical boundary?
Best,

Hi,
I am struggling to control the position of the case labels. I would
like to shift the position of the case labels both to the right and
little up. But I have failed to do so. I look forward to hearing from
you. Here I am attaching my plot for your convenience.
Thanks
Kamal

By 'case labels' do you mean the position of the legend in your plot, or
the the marker labels?
If the former, use the annotation resources 'amres_at_amParallelPosF' and
'amres_at_amOrthogonalPosF' in part 5 of the the script taylor_diagram.ncl,
to move the legend around.
If the latter, you can change the vertical position of the marker labels
when you call taylor_diagram.ncl using the resource rOpt_at_markerTxYOffset.
I can't find an equivalent for horizontal alignment in the taylor diagram
script so will have to add it yourself (Part 4 of the taylor_diagram.ncl
script)

Jessica,
Dave is correct, the gsn_csm_xxx_polar functions only work with center of the plot at one of the poles.
There's no way to get automatic tickmarks on a non-rectangular map projection. The polar map labels are done with calls to gsn_text_ndc.
We have examples of adding your own lat/lon labels to a map. See examples mptick_10.ncl, mptick_9.ncl, and, for your purpose, mptick_12.ncl, which labels a somewhat ellipitcally shaped map, the Robinson projection.

Dear All,
I would like to make a month to month correlation. I would like to correlate 1 month of sst(lat,lon,time) with 1 month of precipitation which actually is 1 value. Is it possible? Attached is my script and below is the output. Please let me know, what I can do if it is possible.

Hi,
I want to change the time attributes in my NETCDF file in a manner
similar to this:
time = (/3356, 3356.083, 3356.333, 3356.917, 3357.042, 3358.208/)
time_at_units = "days since 1995-01-01 00:00:0.0",
only I would like to use fspan(0,17517,5840).
The problem is that I cannot add the attributes. It is not possible to
use the "@" with an array created using fspan since I have 5840 time
steps.
How can I do this in ncl?
/Marston
