Thanks a lot Benjamin, it did the trick. I have another question, I have ocean section along latitude 0 ( equator) which is sampled at depths. size of the array is 12x14 but this is just the index of the array I need to make a plot which shows depth value as one axis and longitude values as another axis. Is there a quick way to rescale the data to lat depth section by adding a new axis? depth=[0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,120] lon=[ 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105] In [20]: data.shape Out[20]: (12, 14) can you please advice me on what is the best way to re-scale the data to depth lat dimensions from the indices 1-12 and 1-14 With best regards, Sudheer From: Benjamin Root <ben.root@ou.edu> To: Discussion of Numerical Python <numpy-discussion@scipy.org> Sent: Monday, 4 March 2013 7:40 PM Subject: Re: [Numpy-discussion] reshaping arrays On Sat, Mar 2, 2013 at 11:35 PM, Sudheer Joseph <sudheer.joseph@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi Brad,
I am not getting the attribute reshape for the array, are you having a different version of numpy than mine?

Ah, you have a NetCDF variable, which in many ways purposefully looks like a NumPy array, but isn't. Just keep in mind that a NetCDF variable is merely a way to have the data available without actually reading it in until you need it. If you do: ssh_data = ssh[:] Then the NetCDF variable will read all the data in the file and return it as a numpy array that can be manipulated as you wish. I hope that helps!
