Re: polar stereographic projection



Hi Xiangdong,
You can do this kind of thing, if your variables are v1, lon, lat:


! Run the mp_stereographic_north script to define projection variables
set region/y=60:90N
go mp_stereographic_north

! Reset the map projection coordinates to use the lon, lat grid

let/quiet mp_lambda = lon * deg2rad
let/quiet mp_phi = lon* deg2rad
set grid lon
go mp_aspect

shade/noaxes v1, x_page, y_page

Thanks. In this case, both plots are on the rectangular map. I hope
the plot will be on the polar stereographic projection map. More
suggestions? Thanks again -- Xiangdong

  
You can use Ferret's curvilinear mapping procedures for this.  Let's  
suppose you want to contour variable v1 which is on a rectangular i,j  
grid that is not necessarily a global lat,lon grid, but you also have  
lat and lon on that same rectangular grid.  Then the following will do  
the job

contour v1,lon,lat

Your other data set with variable v2, already on a lon/lat grid, is  
contoured by

contour v2
