Dear all,
I have this currents dataset from a model which is really curvilinear; in the region where I am working, the longitude axes is almost vertical while the latitude axes is close to vertical, but in the negative direction.
When I use the original data and plot using either:
vector ubar,vbar
or
vector ubar,vbar,lon_rho,lat_rho
the results are plotted in the wrong direction. To solve that, I have a rotation matrix, which convert ubar and vbar to lat and lon. Plotting the rotated version using the vector command shows the vectors in the correct direction.
However, if I plot using:
go stick_vectors ubar,vbar
in the rotated dataset, I get the wrong direction again. And later I realized that if I plot the original dataset using go stick_vectors I get the right direction.
Any idea about what is going on here and how I can make sure that I am using the right direction?
Thanks!
