************ Usage ************** visu-ncl -f infilename.nc [options] -f infilename.nc : Input file, mandatory This script is designed for longitude/latitude/pressure/time nc files. Required dimension names are: Time indexes : Time, time, time_counter Vertical levels: lev, presnivs Latitudes : lat, latitude Longitudes : lon, longitudes == Options == [-h] : This user manual [-med media] : media for output Default: x11 Possible values: x11 => Display graph on screen ps,eps,pdf => Display graph in a ps,eps or pdf file [-oname outputname] : name for the output Default: quickview (will be the name of the X11 window) The name extension (.ps, .eps, .pdf) is added automatically. [-type typeplot] : type of plot Default: coupe Possible values: coupe => Display 1D graph or 2D contour plot You need to give at least 1 varying dimension, otherwise default give only one point. ortho => Display 2D orthographic projection You will be defaulted to a full lat/lon map. stereo => Display 2D stereographic projection You will be defaulted to a full lon map. Options to define the plotted variable: --------------------------------------- [-v varname] : Variable name for plot Default: liste => list the variables in file If varname = customvar then a user-defined variable can be plotted with -v customvar,labelvar This labelvar must be defined in the customVar routine in visu-utils.ncl [-v2 varname] : Variable name to be overplotted Default: no second variable [-tc ntcutmin[,ntcutmax[,tavg]]] : INDEXES for time slice (0 to -1) Default: ntcutmin=0 / ntcutmax=ntcutmin / tavg=ntcutmax ntcutmin=-999: average over all times tavg=-999 : average between ntcutmin and ntcutmax Known problem: on given files, the default has a problem. In this case, try a time point different from 0, it should work. [-pc pcutmin[,pcutmax[,pavg]]] : VALUES for pressure slice Default: pcutmin=1.e4 / pcutmax=pcutmin / pavg=pcutmax pcutmin=-999 : average over all pressures pavg=-999 : average between pcutmin and pcutmax [-lc lcutmin[,lcutmax[,lavg]]] : VALUES for latitudinal slice Default: lcutmin=0 / lcutmax=lcutmin / lavg=lcutmax lcutmin=-999 : average over all latitudes lavg=-999 : average between lcutmin and lcutmax [-Lc Lcutmin[,Lcutmax[,Lavg]]] : VALUES for longitudinal slice Default: Lcutmin=0 / Lcutmax=Lcutmin / Lavg=Lcutmax Lcutmin=-999 : average over all longitudes Lavg=-999 : average between Lcutmin and Lcutmax Cosmetic options for figure: ---------------------------- [-lim min,max[,step]] : limits for variable values Default: automatic 1d : min and max values for axis (step unused) 2d : min, max and step values for contours If only one value is given, back to default. Cosmetic options for projections: --------------------------------- [-center lon,lat] : longitude and latitude (degrees) of center point Default: For orthographic: 0,40 For stereographic: 0,90 (i.e. Northern Hemisphere) To plot Southern Hemisphere, ask for 0,-90 (any other will go back to default) If only one value is given, both are identical. [-grid T/F] : logical to plot the grid or not Default: T [-gcol gridcol] : color for the grid Default: white [-gspc Dlon,Dlat] : intervals (degrees) for longitude and latitude lines Default: 30,20 If only one value is given, both are identical.
