  • and modifying the contents of three lines to
    v1=   3.    ; Low  value for isopleths, disregarded when  nv  is 0 or 1
    v2=  20.    ; High value for isopleths, disregarded when  nv  is 0 or 1
    nv=  17     ; No. of isopleths, there will be  nv+1  colors
    
    in order to lock the use of contours and color map (such a specification is essential to invoke when executing the multi-figure scripts mcontour.sh, mc-mask.sh) and mlayersection.sh)
  • Finally, the following command was issued:

    mlayersection.sh hycom_031_h.nc hycom_031_TS.nc thknss temp lat 16 1 21

    By executing this command, a set of ppm & gif images for a meridional temperature section are created, at longitude node no. 16, for time steps no. 1 through 21. Note that for spherical grids, values along the horizontal axis at the bottom correspond to coordinate values (here, °N). When these images are assembled as a gif animation, the result is:
