Re: [ferret_users] netcdf file with irregular axis

[Júnior <juniorphy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nuncio,

If I'm 
not mistaken, I've had the same problem that yours. So if you have the lat-lon points irregularly spaced, you can read an ascii file with these points, take care to read both lat and lon in i and j axes, for example:

grid file:
LAT   LON

-5.23   -45.67
-4.34   -45.23
-3.45   -45.02
-3.10   -44.50
  ...        .....
!defining axis for you have lat(i,j) and lon(i,j)
define axis/x=1:4:1 xax
define axis/y=1:4:1 yay

define grid/x=xax/y=yay gw

!reading grid file
file/format=free/grid=gw/var=alat,alon grid_file.dat

you can do:

fill alon, alat, <variable in grid pts>


I hope this helps.

Regards,

Júnior

Hello users,
       I have a netcdf file of seaice in polar stereographic grid along
with the lat long coordinate files (two seperate nc files).  Is it
possible in FERRET to use the lat long coordinate files to convert the
polar stereographic coordinates of the seaice files to xy coordinates.
The latitude and Longitude values are irregularly spaced.
Thanks
nuncio
