Re: vertical section along a track?

[Ansley Manke <ansley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Xin,
Yes, there is a way to do this.  Look up SAMPLEXY in the Ferret
Users' Guide.  It's in chapter 3, sec2.3.34:
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/Documentation/Users_Guide/current/fer_html.htm

There is an example in that section which samples along a linear
track, and plots the vertical section.  The technique can be used just
as easily with any track coordinates.

Hi ferreters,

I am wondering there is an easy way to plot a vertical section along a track.

I have searched the mail archive of ferret and really found a few wonderful scripts, e.g., trackplot_demo, polymark_demo, and
     polytube_demo. I have tried to understand the contents in  the section of  ----"Chapter 7A:
WORKING WITH SPECIAL DATA SETS" section "3.5 Subsampling gridded fields
onto profile coordinates and times"
 

http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/Ferret/Documentation/Users_Guide/v50/chapter7a.html#V5.0_section
subsampling to profiles

Frankly speaking, I could not catch on to them very well. It seem I have to spend much more hours on it. So I hope you guys may help me to figure out it quickly.

Thanks a lot.

Have a good weekend.

Xin
