How to extract data from nc file by using shape file in MATLAB

Answers (3)

clc; clear all ;
file = 'cpc_rfe_v2.0_sa_dly.bin.20020101.nc' ;
lon = ncread(file,'lon') ;
lat = ncread(file,'lat') ;
RF = ncread(file,'RF') ;
%
path = [pwd filesep 'India State wise with telangana' filesep 'india27-11.shp'] ;
S = shaperead(path) ;
n = length(S) ;
pcolor(lon,lat,RF') ; shading interp ;
hold on
for i = 1%:n
x = S(i).X ; y = S(i).Y ;
rfi = interp2(lon,lat,RF',x,y) ;
end
Your next question is: 'I want data along the polygon, not along the boundary'. It is a project work and you expect everything online?

this really helped me....
Dear @KSSV, what if the time is also given in the nc file i.e. nc data are in 3D...then how will we extract the data from .nc file according to given shapefile....
You can use maskregion function, which mask out the data as per your shapefile.
Example you can refer to for your convenience
W=shaperead('us_states.shp');
[data_cropped]=maskregion(lon,lat,data,W);
contourf(lon,lat,nanmean(data_cropped,3)','linecolor','none')

For cropping the data, you can use cropregion.

Hi Ankur,
tried maskregion function, but the output produces matrix of same dimension with all values as NaN. Its not working.
Could you please attach the mat file, along with the shape file?
hi saumya did u find the solution while using the maskregion!
