Analyzing CESM data with Python

[stephensa2042]

Hi,

I am new to the CESM and I have run a default case provided by a training tutorial and would like to use the .nc file and create a 500 hpa geopotential heights map using python. Any help or points in the right direction will be much appreciated. Thanks!

There are many visualization packages for netCDF files that are built on Python, including PyNGL, pyferret, and others. Unidata provides a list:
