World vector shoreline: Get line data: 1D vectors are small, so we can get all data

nc_dump(url_line)
L.lon    = nc_varget(url_line,'lon');
L.lat    = nc_varget(url_line,'lat');

Define bounding box

boundingbox.lon = [ 0 10];
boundingbox.lat = [50 55];

for i=1:length(url_grid)

   ncfile = url_grid{i}

• Get full lat,lon vectors: 1D vectors are small, so we can get all data

  Code Block
  nc_dump(ncfile) G.lon = nc_varget(ncfile,'lon' ); % 1D G.lat = nc_varget(ncfile,'lat' ); % 1D

• Find the subset-indices within the bounding box

  Code Block
  ilon = find(G.lon > boundingbox.lon(1) & G.lon < boundingbox.lon(2)); ilat = find(G.lat > boundingbox.lat(1) & G.lat < boundingbox.lat(2));

• Wiki Markup
  ranslate subset-indices to netCDF argument: \[start,count,stride\]

  Code Block
  stride = [1 1]; % additionally specify a stride when the subset is still too big start = [min(ilat)-1 min(ilon)-1]; % subtract one as netCDF is 0-based, whereas matlab is 1-bases count = ceil([length(ilat) length(ilon)]./stride); % use ceil to cover at least bounding box area

• Request data subset

  Code Block
  G.lat = nc_varget(ncfile,'lat' ,start(1),count(1),stride(1)); % 1D G.lon = nc_varget(ncfile,'lon' ,start(2),count(2),stride(2)); % 1D G.topo = nc_varget(ncfile,'topo',start(:),count(:),stride(:)); % 2D G.title = nc_attget(ncfile,nc_global,'title')

• Plot data subset

  Code Block
  figure(i) pcolorcorcen(G.lon,G.lat,G.topo) hold on plot(L.lon,L.lat,'k') axis([boundingbox.lon boundingbox.lat]) tickmap('ll','texttype','text','dellast',1) axislat % sets aspect ratio grid on clim ([-50 150]) title(mktex(G.title)) colorbarwithvtext('z [m]') print2screensize(mkvar(G.title))
