You may display the NetCDF output using the ncview utility:

ncview $MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/tc_dland/tc_dland_indian_ocean_one_deg.nc &

Alternatively, you could run the MET Plot-Data-Plane tool and display the result:

plot_data_plane \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/tc_dland/tc_dland_indian_ocean_one_deg.nc \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/tc_dland/tc_dland_indian_ocean_one_deg.ps \
'name="dland"; level="(*,*)";'

gv $MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/tc_dland/tc_dland_indian_ocean_one_deg.ps &

Notice that the distances over water are positive while those over land they are negative. Lastly, run ncdump to display the header:

ncdump -h $MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/tc_dland/tc_dland_indian_ocean_one_deg.nc

Notice that the units of the dland variable are nm, for nautical miles.
