Graphics: NCL - Example

wrf_CrossSection_1.ncl ; wrf_CrossSection_2.ncl ; wrf_CrossSection1.ncl

Example script to plot data along a cross section.

In this script note:

1. A cross section is created with a pivot point (plane) and an angle;
2. Data is first interpolated along this angle (to height), before plotted;
3. Function wrf_overlays is used as no map background information is needed;
4. For wrf_CrossSection_1.ncl the data is simply plotted;
5. For wrf_CrossSection_2.ncl height information is calculated to use along the Y-axis;
6. wrf_CrossSection1.ncl (shown below) is similar to wrf_CrossSesion_2.ncl, but plots along 3 cross sections are created.

Note: Not all plots generated are depicted below.	The image above shows how a pivot point (plane) and an angle are used to create a cross section.
