Example Scripts

SCOW fields are available in a NetCDF file format. All files were created and tested using Matlab 5.3.1.29215a (R11.1) and the NetCDF Toolbox For Matlab-5 Version of 30-Apr-2003 11:16:19. Click HERE to download this Matlab toolbox. A user guide that describes the interface to the NetCDF Toolbox is available HERE. Note that this toolbox, which was written by Chuck Denham, is no longer supported. For the most recent NetCDF information please click HERE.

read_and_plot_scow_fields.m: This script demonstates how the SCOW zonal wind stress file (wind_stress_zonal_monthly_maps.nc) can be read and monthly fields plotted. The output from this script should look as follows, January Zonal Wind Stress Plot.

calc_seasonal_cycle_from_scow_coeff.m: This script demonstates how the SCOW zonal wind stress regression coefficients file (wind_stress_zonal_coefficients.nc) can be read and used to calculate a 12 point (monthly) and a 365 point (daily) seasonal cycle for each grid cell.
