Re: [ferret_users] GO LAND on curvilinear plot VAR, XLONG, XLAT

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
When you have drawn the plot ,

yes? fill hgt, xlong, xlat

do the horizontal and vertical axes have units and labels showing longitude and latitude? The coordinate variables xlong and xlat shuld have units attributes that indicate they are degrees of longitude and latitude. If they do, then "go land" should work.

The "go land" and "go land_detail" scripts use symbols that are defined when the underlying plot is drawn.  So after your fill plot,  see how these symbols are defined:

yes? show symbol xaxis_min, xaxis_max

Finally, I imagine you have done this, but check that "go land" works for other plots:

yes? use coads_climatology
yes? fill/l=1 sst
yes? go land

Hi
I am plotting WRF output variables, e.g.,

fill hgt, xlong, xlat; go land
or
fill/ i=1:138/ j=1:90 /l=1 psfc, xlong, xlat; go land

as seen in
http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2013/msg00110.html

The variables are plotted, but the 'go land' command does not overlay country borders, although there is no error message.

Can anyone help?
