[Matplotlib-users] depth longitude plot

[Sudheer J. <sud...@ya...>]

Dear Users,
                             I am trying to make  vertical section plot along equator of Indian ocean from 45E to 100E and latitude 0.
from levitus climatology using below code. What is the best and simple way to achieve this? np.meshgrid allows only 2 variables so I am not able to make  x,y,z= using np.meshgrid(lat,depth,temp)
how to go about this? Is there a set of codes for handling such graphs?

url='http://www.marine.csiro.au/dods/nph-dods/dods-data/climatology-netcdf/levitus_monthly_temp_98.nc'
import cdms2
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from netCDF4 import Dataset as ncd
f=cdms2.open(url)
f.variables()
x=f.getAxis('lon')
y=f.getAxis('lat')
z=f.getAxis('z')
depth=z.getData()
lat=y.getData()
lon=x.getData()
temp=f('TEMP')
lonmin=np.where(lon==45)
lonmax=np.where(lon==100)
nlon=lon[lonmin:lonmax]
lat0=np.where(lat==0.5)
ntemp=temp[:,lat0,lonmin:lonmax]

basically I wanted to make a plot plt.plot(nlon,depth,ntemp)
Please help.

with best regards,
Sudheer
