For the purpose of this example, we assume that we have already downloaded the file <code>c1440_NR.inst01hr_3d_T_Cv.20060918_0900z.nc4</code> from the ftp/~~http~~ server. For more information about file naming conventions, and how to download a file, please follow the links in the [[#See Also]] section.

Once <code>panoply</code> is installed, it can be launched from the command line via

To load the downloaded data file click on File -> Open... and from the file browser we choose the file. Opening the file leads to the display

Here, we select our variable, <code>T</code>, from the 'Datasets' tab and click on 'Create Plot'. In the new window that appears, we select the first option 'Create geogridded Longitude-Latitude plot' and click on 'Create'. To plot the air temperature at the surface (level=72), in the 'Array(s)' Tab we set the 'Vertical level:' to 72 and check the 'Always fit to data' box in the 'Scale' tab resulting in
