This Java software plots raster images of latitude-longitude gridded data found within netCDF datasets.
One of its key functionalities is its ability to extract slice-specific latitude-longitude arrays, which may have complicated dimensions in parameters like altitude and time, from its complex multidimensional array. Additionally, the software possesses the capability to combine two arrays in a single plot by employing difference, summing, or averaging methodologies.
Panoply also offers a continent outlines or overlay feature that adds a visual element to the data that can be particularly helpful for users. Finally, it offers the option of saving plotted images to disk in either PNG or GIF format.
Overall, Panoply is a comprehensive software platform that allows for the efficient manipulation, analysis, and representation of complex data sets for users in different critical fields.
