The simplest way to extract a value at a given lat/lon location might
be something like this (I'm assuming you're in the Jython Shell at
this point...):
1. a = selectData()
[then pick your gridded field -- if it's 3D then you'll
need to use the "make2D()"
function in the Jython library "Grid routines"]
2. assuming there is a "time" dimension, then do:
b = a[0]
(if you do a "print len(a)" and the answer is a small number, like
"1", then you likely have a time dimension...you can also do "print
whatTypes(a)" and get the details of the structure of 'a')
3. then (welcome to the World of VisAD):
from visad.georef import LatLonTuple
4. now for each point do this:
print b.evaluate( LatLonTuple( 43., -89.))
(using your own lat/lon values....)
