Re: [ferret_users] help in converting sigma levels to z depths....



Hi -
See this message for more about zaxreplace,

http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2002/msg00209.html

The second argument to ZAXREPLACE needs to be the depths that correspond to the sigma-levels. This is the conversion to the new z axis. So, something like this would work:
let sig = cs_r
let depz = -4000*sig
let tempn = zaxreplace(temp,depz,z[gz=zdepth])
You were doing something else with the _expression_
cs_r[k=@rsum]-cs_r/2
so you may use a different second argument, but i think this will get you started.

Dear ferret users,

I am trying to convert ROMS sigma levels to z depths using following script,
but plot is not generated at required depth giving the message as No Data
Valid.

the script

cancel data/all
cancel viewport
SET MODE META
PPL SHASET RESET
CANCEL MODE logo

use "/home/rmed16_his/his_rmed16_grd_gls_3960.nc"
SET MEMORY/SIZE=50
define axis/z/unit=m/depth
zdepth={0,5,10,20,30,50,75,100,125,150,200,250,300,400,500,600,800,1000,1200,1500,2000,2500,3000,3500,4000}
let depths=cs_r[k=@rsum]-cs_r/2  ! cs_r is at rho points
let tempn=ZAXREPLACE(temp,depths,z[gz=zdepth])
shade/k=5 tempn
