Re: How to plot density-time section

[Yang Haijun <navyang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Steve,

Thank you very much. 

The following is the process:

Suppose tmean and smean are 4-D variables with X,Y,Z,T,

Step 1: Get potential density

   let rho=rho_un(smean,tmean,0)-1000

Step 2: Define a new Z-axis(density-axis) to replace the old one:

   define axis/z=23.8:26.6:0.2/unit="density"/depth axdens
   
Step 3: Use fuction ZAXREPLACE to get temp on density-axis

   let temp_on_density=zaxreplace(tmean,rho,z[gz=axdens])

Do you think it is right?

Best regards,

Haijun Yang
