MET Online Tutorial for METv8.0 | Regrid-Data-Plane > Output

Run Plot-Data-Plane to visualize the output we generated on the previous page. Use the -plot_range option to keep the color scale fixed across all plots.

  • Plot the input data:
plot_data_plane \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/input/sample_fcst/2005080700/wrfprs_ruc13_12.tm00_G212 \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/regrid_data_plane/tmp_z2_input.ps \
'name="TMP"; level="Z2";' \
-plot_range 275 305
  • Plot the nearest neighbor G130 output:
plot_data_plane \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/regrid_data_plane/tmp_z2_G130.nc \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/regrid_data_plane/tmp_z2_G130.ps \
'name="TMP_Z2"; level="(*,*)";' \
-plot_range 275 305
  • Plot the smoothed G130 output:
plot_data_plane \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/regrid_data_plane/tmp_z2_smooth.nc \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/regrid_data_plane/tmp_z2_smooth.ps \
'name="TMP_Z2"; level="(*,*)";' \
-plot_range 275 305
  • Plot the bilinear Pacific Northwest output:
plot_data_plane \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/regrid_data_plane/tmp_z2_bilin.nc \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/regrid_data_plane/tmp_z2_bilin.ps \
'name="TMP_Z2"; level="(*,*)";' \
-plot_range 275 305
  • Plot the custom lat/lon grid output:
plot_data_plane \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/regrid_data_plane/tmp_z2_latlon.nc \
$MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/regrid_data_plane/tmp_z2_latlon.ps \
'name="TMP_Z2"; level="(*,*)";' \
-plot_range 275 305

Open each of these PostScript images and compare them to the input ($MET_TUTORIAL_DATA/output/regrid_data_plane/tmp_z2_input.ps).
