Graphics: NCL – Example

wrf_panel2.ncl

Example script illustrating how create a panel plot.

In this script note:

1. To prepare the individual plots, NoHeaderFooter and lbTitleOn are set off for each plot.
2. Note that even thought the same surface temperature field is used in two of the panel plots,
   this field needs to be created for each plot, so as not to mess up the paneling functions.
3. To panel, set PanelPlot to True when using the function wrf_map_overlays.
4. Then use gsn_panel to panel the 4 plots generated.
   txString is used to generate a single header for the 4 plots.
   gsnPanelScalePlotIndex is used to ensure all plots are the same size.
5. wrf_panel2-2.ncl will generate the same plots, in the example the data is just all read in first before plotted.

Note: Not all plots generated are depicted below.
