data not tagged with lat , long

[jaigsingla]

Hello All,

I have different variable for lat, long and other parameter.

Suppose I have a grid for lat (380,360) same for long and same for temp (380,360,14,1)

How to make it convenient for displaying it using surface plots.

I am able to read all variables and reshape these.
How to pack these as a matrix for plotting??

thanks
Jai

@dnadeau4 let's make a notebook to explain this and post on website. @dnadeau4 if I remember correctly you did similar thing for Donald Luca earlier, do you still have the code?

Hello
Any update related to this

[doutriaux1]

@jaigsingla I think @dnadeau4 is busy with over things at the moment, so I took on me to prepare a quick notebook to show how to do this, please let me know if that's clear and what you want.
Once you're happy with it I will clean it up and post it in our tutorials sections.

Hello Charles , thanks for update. Code is working well with sample data file it seems. I dont have latbounds and lonbounds as separate fields in my data file. how to set these?

One more point data in my file is 4d whereas sample data used by you is 2d. Now I want to plot it in 3d surface

[doutriaux1]

@jaigsingla I can't help you more with vertices, you need to ask your data provider, if it's 3 or 4D it's the same concept simply set edit the part where you set the axis instead f setAxisList, you probably want to set axes one at a time with setAxis(index,axis)

[doutriaux1]

I'll update Jupyter notebook to show 4D data before posting it.

How to set lat bounds and lon bounds if such information is not available as a separate field

there's no way to guess especially on curvilinear and generic grids. You can try to use the mid point between two (i,j),(i+1,j+1) but that's probably going to be a poor guess. You have to know your grid.
On the bright side I think isofill/isoline shouldn't need vertices for plotting I will try to push a fix to vcs for such cases soon. @danlipsa am I guessing right that isofill/isoline shouldn't need vertices.

Hello @doutriaux1 ,
Actually I have latitude and longitude as separate fields and temp as separate field. Now, want to write in same data structure as used in geos5.nc file. Can not we achieve the same?

Latitude , longitude values can be extracted from corresponding array index and similarly temp profile (vertical 14 values) can be extracted from temp field and can be arranged in a data structure as that used in geos5.nc .

How do bounds field help in this regard? pls shed a light on this also .

[doutriaux1]

bounds are for plotting. Can you please send a link to a geos5.nc file. I'm not 100% I follow what you're trying to achieve.
