Data Selection

You can interactively pick out the data you would like with the Data Viewer.

You can reduce the amount of data by restricting the range of the grids.

The current settings for the grids are
  • grid: /S (days since 1960-01-01) ordered [ (0000 16 Jan 1983) (0000 16 Feb 1983) (0000 16 Mar 1983) ... (0000 16 Nov 2009)] N= 323 pts :grid
  • grid: /X (degree_east) ordered (94W) to (87W) by 1.0 N= 8 pts :grid
  • grid: /Y (degree_north) ordered (12.5N) to (18.5N) by 1.0 N= 7 pts :grid
  • grid: /L (months) ordered [ (2.5)] :grid
If this is what you want, choose Stop Selecting: on to the smaller dataset

Hints

More General Data Selection

Otherwise, you select data by picking a grid and specifying which values of that grid you want. You can specify a RANGE, or single or multiple VALUES.

If you want all of the data along a particular grid, you do not need to do any selecting: only select a grid that you want to reduce the amount of data along.

P.S.: the Data Viewer lets one select data with a graphical interface. It works even for datasets with three or more dimensions.
