Plot air temperature data on pressure levels (Hovmöller diagram).

10 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi, i need to plot air temperature at certain pressure levels. For reference a netcdf sample file is attached.
I want the data to be plotted for a certain latitude suppose (55) and a certain Longitude range suppose (60-90), and pressure levels suppose (1-17). In this case the X-axis will denote the Longitude range while Y-axis will show the pressure levels.
Any help will be appreciated.

Sir, i think what you did is right, can you please share the procedure so i can see the steps and use. This data is Air temperature anomalies with unit of Kelvin. Thank You for helping

Here you go! Note that you specify the latitude and range of longitudes as the indices of their respective vectors, and not in units of degrees. You can easily try other types of plots (like controuf) or change the colormap.
ncid = netcdf.open('amj_w.nc','NOWRITE')
ncdisp('amj_w.nc');
lon = ncread('amj_w.nc','longitude');
lat = ncread('amj_w.nc','latitude');
p = ncread('amj_w.nc','level');
T = ncread('amj_w.nc','t');
lat_const=50; %the latitude as the index in the lat vector
range=1:100; %specify the lon range as index...
T=permute(T,[3 1 2]);
surf(lon(range),p,T(:,range,lat_const),'edgecolor','none');
cb=colorbar;
cb.Label.String='Temperature / K';
xlabel('longitude / degrees east')
ylabel('pressure / millibars')
set(gca,'XLim',[lon(min(range)) lon(max(range))])
view([0 90])
box on
title(['Latitude: ',num2str(lat(lat_const)),' degrees'])
set(gca,'layer','top')
colormap(parula)

I found my problem. when i was plotting lon vs time, i was not having latitude constant.
It works fine now. Thank you

Great, no problem! I recommend using the datetime class instead of the old buggy datenum
