Re: [las_users] can ferret handle HYCOM products?



Hi Zoujun,
Yes, you can use those datasets.  Some of them are on a curvilinear grid, and I presume that's what you're asking about. For all the details, look at the section on Curvilinear data in the Ferret Users Guide http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/working-with-special-data-sets/CURVILINEAR-COORDINATE-DATA

and if you are interested in serving data on curvilinear grids in LAS, the documentation for configuring that is here
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/LAS/documentation/installer-documentation/adding-curvilinear-data/

 For instance, from the Ferret command line,
yes? use  "http://hycom.coaps.fsu.edu/thredds/dodsC/glb_analysis"
yes? show data
     currently SET data sets:
    1> http://hycom.coaps.fsu.edu/thredds/dodsC/glb_analysis  (default)
 name     title                         I      J      K      L
 LATITUDE                              1:4500 1:3298 ...    ...
 LONGITUDE
                                       1:4500 1:3298 ...    ...
 DATE     date                         ...    ...    ...    1:1885
 QTOT     surf. heat flux   [60.5H]    1:4500 1:3298 ...    1:1885
...
 TEMPERATUR   temp [60.5H]             1:4500 1:3298 1:33   1:1885
 SALINITY  salinity [60.5H]            1:4500 1:3298 1:3    1:1885
 
yes? shade salinity[i=1:4500:10,j=1:3298:10, K=1, L=1],  longitude[i=1:4500:10,j=1:3298:10], latitude[i=1:4500:10,j=1:3298:10]

yes? go land

Notice that in the SHADE command I've used strides to decimate the data on this very fine grid.  GO LAND does work, after the longitude and latitude plot axes have been set up by running the curvilinear version of the plot command (shade, fill, contour, and vector have curvilinear forms).

In LAS we are still grappling a bit with how to deal with the volume of data in this high-resolution grid, but there is a link on the page you mention,  http://hycom.rsmas.miami.edu/dataserver/ to a LAS installed there; you can see it in action.

you may want to stop here.

The inof page says:
"These files can be accessed using any OPeDAP enabled client e.g, ferret, Matlab, NCO etc."

However, I have trouble with the 2nd and 3rd files' lat/lon, namely, "go land" would not work.  Any easy way to go around it?

Aloha,
Zuojun
