Hello, Now that I have correctly imported the NetCDF file and set up the kind of projection I am interested in having the data displayed over I am having trouble plotting my data with the quiver function. I am interested in plotting the principal vectors of the stress field onto a Mercator projection. My netcdf file is telling me the following after "ncdump -h" dimensions: nsr_delta = 20 ; time = 24 ; latitude = 37 ; longitude = 73 ; variables: float nsr_delta(nsr_delta) ; nsr_delta:units = "" ; nsr_delta:long_name = "NSR Surface Delta (mu/(eta*omega))" ; float time(time) ; time:units = "degrees" ; time:long_name = "degrees after periapse" ; float latitude(latitude) ; latitude:units = "degrees_north" ; latitude:long_name = "latitude" ; float longitude(longitude) ; longitude:units = "degrees_east" ; longitude:long_name = "longitude" ; float Ttt_D(time, latitude, longitude) ; Ttt_D:units = "Pa" ; Ttt_D:long_name = "north-south component stress of Diurnal stresses" ; float Tpt_D(time, latitude, longitude) ; Tpt_D:units = "Pa" ; Tpt_D:long_name = "shear component of Diurnal stresses" ; float Tpp_D(time, latitude, longitude) ; Tpp_D:units = "Pa" ; Tpp_D:long_name = "east-west component of Diurnal stresses" ; float Ttt_N(nsr_delta, latitude, longitude) ; Ttt_N:units = "Pa" ; Ttt_N:long_name = "north-south component of NSR stresses" ; float Tpt_N(nsr_delta, latitude, longitude) ; Tpt_N:units = "Pa" ; Tpt_N:long_name = "shear component of NSR stresses" ; float Tpp_N(nsr_delta, latitude, longitude) ; Tpp_N:units = "Pa" ; Tpp_N:long_name = "east-west component of NSR stresses" ;
// global attributes: :description = "Testing pySatStress on a regular grid" ; :history = "Created: Mon Jun 15 12:46:13 2009 using pySatStress" ; :Conventions = "COARDS" ; However, when I am strugglingto use the quiver_demo.py as a guide to making my quiver plot. Thanks for any help you can offer.
