To use IDL codes and the pbs scripts to visualize a large number of GEOS-5 cubed-sphere products:
#Download the codes and save them as cube_to_latlon.pro, winds_cube_to_latlon.pro, convert_latlon.j (pbs script) , idlstart ( environment ) and README.
#The README file explains all the scripts and the steps visualizing the data. Although all the examples and data are on discover, it is not difficult for users to make changes to run the programs on the other systems.


The script ''read_and_interpolate_cube.pro'' can read data in the cubed-sphere grid in NetCDF files, interpolate the data , map the data in lat-lon format and plot. The script ''cube_to_latlon.pro''  uses ''read_and_interpolate_cube.pro'' to convert the variables in cubed-sphere grid to lat-lon grid and write the variables to NetCDF files. It should be noted that the tile files, input and output files are hard-wired in the code. The users will need to provide those files and change the code accordingly.
