Re: [ferret_users] Problems with longitude



Luiz, as Steve says, Ferret should treat the longitude axis is a modulo axis regardless of how it is set  in the file, as long as it has units of degrees. This is the case if you are using Ferret version 5.5 or higher. If the longitude axis of the data is not marked as modulo, you can tell Ferret to treat it as a modulo axis anyway. If the file is filename.nc and the SST variable is called sst, then the syntax would be
yes? set data filename.nc
yes? set axis/modulo `sst,return=xaxis`
And then you should be able to plot  over a different region.

Here are some more commands to use to try to understand what is happening with the data. See SHOW GRID and SHOW AXIS in the Users Guide. After the SET DATA command,

   yes? show grid sst
   yes? show axis xaxisname   ! using the x axis name in the grid.

If the axis in the data set is incorrect, you can redefine the axis using SET AXIS commands, or define a new correct axis and regrid the data to your new axis with the @ASN regridding transformation.

Dear coleagues, 
 
I'm trying to do a plot using OSTIA L4 SST satellite data 
(http://ghrsst-pp.metoffice.com/data/OSTIA/index.htm) before April 2006 from 
longitude 65W to 20E. The problem is: the longitude axis stops on Greenwich. 
The newer files don't have this issue. I've already tried the following: 
- to plot using the indexes and adding 360 degrees multiples; and  
- regrid the variable  
... but the result is always the same. It stops on Greenwich (for the first 
method) or show the message "No valid data" (for the second one).  
 
Any ideas? 
 
Thanks,
