[ferret_users] curvilinear grid

[Andy Jacobson <andy.jacobson@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I'm working for the first time with a curvilinear grid (a cubed-sphere 
atmosphere from GEOS-Chem). My first attempts with plotting fields from 
this model indicate that I'm either using ferret incorrectly or that the 
files I'm using are not formatted as expected (see attached). I 
generated them with:


       NOAA/PMEL TMAP
        FERRET v6.72
        Linux 2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_64 64-bit - 09/13/11
        27-Apr-19 13:24

yes? use GCHP.StateMet_inst.2000101_0000z_c48_reshape.nc4
yes? fill Met_AVGW[k=1],lon,lat
fill Met_AVGW[k=1yes? go land
yes? quit

I presume that the artifacts I'm seeing (e.g.the long diagonal striping 
across 180W) are not correct behavior. Is there a requirement that the 
lat/lon centers be written in any particular order in the netCDF file?

The netCDF file itself is available at 
ftp://aftp.cmdl.noaa.gov/user/andy/GCHP.StateMet_inst.2000101_0000z_c48_reshape.nc4 
if you need to take a look.

Many thanks in advance,

Andy
