Recipe: Visualize downloaded data using Panoply

Back to G5NR Data Access Guide.

Problem

We want to visualize a downloaded data file using Panoply.

Solution

For the purpose of this example, we assume that we have already downloaded the file c1440_NR.inst01hr_3d_T_Cv.20060918_0900z.nc4 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.

Panoply is a cross-platform application that plots geo-gridded and other arrays from NetCDF, HDF, GRIB, and other datasets. For more information, please see
