1) Correcting the Pakistan part , which belongs to India
2) Correcting the part of the land which is occupied by the Chinese in the state of jammu and kashmir
While asking help from Mr.Charles Doutriaux [ CDAT Developer ] regarding edit map in cdat, he gave the source data of cdat world map in .shp binary file.

There are more than one lakh lines like this.
These are x,y coordinate points.
Simply says, these are Latitude and Longitude values of the whole [real] world.

Isolines
![Page 40: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Isolines Contour Isotherm Isobar
![Page 41: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What is Contour ?
Contour is line drawn on a map connecting points of equal height .
Contour lines (also isolines) connect a series of points of equal elevation and are used to illustrate topography, or relief on a map.
They show the height of ground above Mean Sea Level (M.S.L.) in either feet or meters and can be drawn at any desired interval.
![Page 42: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
![Page 43: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
![Page 44: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What is Isotherm ?
An isotherm ( meaning 'heat') is a line that connects points on a map that have the same temperature.
Therefore, all points through which an isotherm passes have the same temperatures at the time indicated.
![Page 45: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What is Isobar ?
A line of constant pressure. Isobars are found ONLY on surface charts.
They most commonly connect lines of equal pressure in the units of millibars.
High pressure isobars generally occurs with isobars above 1010 mb while low pressure isobars occur with lower than 1010 millibars.
![Page 46: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
What are the Uses of Isotherm ?
Isotherms are used to find regions with
* Warm air advection * Cold air advection
* Short waves* Fronts* Temperature gradient boundaries and * Instability zones.
They are most commonly used at pressure surfaces below 500 millibars and on surface charts.

Isolines in Cdat
![Page 48: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Iso Lines Over India Map

CDAT User :
How can a user create their own Isolines on cdat map?
![Page 50: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
CDAT User :
Generally we can't create our own isolines in cdat map.
We can set only levels on isolines.
![Page 51: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
levels = [10,20,30]
![Page 52: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Reason is . . .
![Page 53: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
NetCDF file
![Page 54: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
What is NetCDF File ?
NetCDF (network Common Data Form)
is a set of software libraries and machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.
![Page 55: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Purpose of NetCDF (.nc)File
The main purpose of netCDF is to protect the user from having to know the details of how the data is stored in the netCDF file.
Cdat have clt.nc file which is reason to create isolines on map.
![Page 56: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
My Project
is going to create our own isolines on cdat map.
![Page 57: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
How to read/write NetCDF (clt.nc) file ?
![Page 58: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
$ sudo apt-get install netcdf-bin
To convert .nc binary into editable text $ ncdump clt.nc > clt.cdl
To generate clt.nc from edited clt.cdl file$ ncgen -b clt.cdl
![Page 59: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
What is My Project ?
My Project going to create the isotherm lines, which will be plot on India Cdat Map.
We have 4 processes to do this . . ..
![Page 60: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Process 1:
1.1 WebScrape the current temperature and barometer (millibar) of all over cities in India and its surroundings countries from the Internet.
1.2 Store the city name, temperature, millibar into the file.
![Page 61: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Process 2:
2.1 Combine the temperature and mb values with latitude and longitude of corresponding cities, which is already collected info file.
2.2 Make decision and covert lat into 4 intervals & lon into 5 intervals
![Page 62: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Process 3:
3.1 Create the binary iso.nc file which contains
current temperature values along with lat & lon.
3.2 Move the “iso.nc” to the cdat location in our system.
![Page 63: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Process 4:
4.1 Run the “isotherm.py” to create our isolines on
cdat India Map.
4.2 EMail to us with the attachment of the output image, which is created by “isotherm.py”
![Page 64: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
To automate all the 4 processes we may use “crontab”
to get isotherm update on India for every one hour or . . .
![Page 65: Contour Ilugc Demo Presentation](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cf4a2d8b42a071b8b4736/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Applications of isolines : By Meteorologist Jeff Haby
Q1. What is meteorologically significant about isobars or isohypses being closely spaced?
Answer: A forecaster can determine the amount of thermal advection (temperature advection). Closely spaced contours indicate stronger wind.

Q2. Negative thickness advection is lower values of thickness moving toward a fixed point. How can this be determined by examining a thickness chart?
Answer: If height contours or isobars are overlaid on the thickness field, a forecaster can determine the speed and direction cold air will have. If the lower thicknesses are advected by the height contours or isobars toward a fixed point, that fixed point will experience a cooling of weather.

Q3. In feet and meters, what is the average height of the 850, 700, 500 and 300 mb surfaces?
Answer:
850 mb (1,500 meters, 5,000 feet)700 mb (3,100 meters, 10,000 feet)500 mb (5,500 meters, 18,000 feet)300 mb (9,300 meters. 30,000 feet)

Applications :
Isallobar / Height change contours
A line of equal pressure change. They are used to forecast the propagation of low and high pressure systems

Applications of isolines : By Meteorologist Jeff Haby
Q4. How are isallobars significant to weather forecasting?
Answer: They give the indication of pressure change. Lows tend to move toward the region with the greatest height falls. Values tell a forecaster if a low or high is increase or decreasing in intensity..
