[ferret_users] Question on plotting ascii and netcdf information [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Savin Chand <S.Chand@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ferret users,

 

Please advice how I can solve the following problem in ferret...

 

I have a netcdf data containing daily averaged relative vorticity (say for January 2000).

 

I also have an ascii file containing the following information:

Lat	Long	Clump_number	Time
20.5	120.5	1	20000105
30.5	180	2	20000108
8.6	170	3	20000111
9.4	126	4	20000114
25.6	75	5	20000117
.	.	.	.
.	.	.	.
.	.	.

 

I can generate maps of relative vorticity for each day from the netcdf file but cannot plot the clump number in the corresponding relative vorticity map at the respective latitude-longitude position as given in the ascii file. I can do it manually though using "label" command one at a time.

 

Can anyone please advice how I can automate it as I will be dealing with a large number of files.

 

Your help will be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Savin
