This version is a BETA RELEASE. The official version will be released at a later date.

To load variables from a data file you have already accessed, open the VCDAT control panel if it is not already open by clicking on the CDAT logo on the left side of your screen.

Once the VCDAT control panel is open, click on the "Load Variables" button. Next double click on the data/netCDF file in which you are interested (for example the clt.nc netCDF file). If you see a File Load Error message about the data not being UTC-8 encoded or JupyterLab is unable to open this file type, click OK. If a list of variables displays, select the variables in which you are interested. Next move the sliders to select the latitude, longitude and date range of the data you want to display.

If you see the "not UTC-8 encoded" error and nothing happens after you click OK, follow these steps:

  1. Type '''import cdms2''' in a Jupyter notebook cell.
  2. When prompted to turn on logging, type "Yes" (or "No" if you really don't want to save logging details). You may still see the error message about the data not being UTC-8 encoded, but the tool will work despite the error message.
