Panoply plots geo-gridded arrays of latitude-longitude, latitude-vertical, or time-latitude data encoded in netCDF, HDF, and GRIB format.

With Panoply 5 you can:

• Create color contour plots of geo-referenced latitude-longitude, latitude-vertical, longitude-vertical, time-latitude or time-vertical arrays sliced from 2D or larger multidimensional variables.
• Create color contour plots of "generic" 2D arrays from 2D or larger multidimensional variables.
• Create line plots of data from 1D or larger multidimensional variables.
• Combine two geo-referenced arrays in one plot by differencing, summing or averaging.
• Create map plots of trajectory data based on the CF convention or similar.
• Plot lon-lat data on a global or regional map using any of over 200 map projections or make a zonal average line plot.
• Overlay continent outlines or masks on lon-lat map plots.
• Use any of numerous color tables for the scale colorbar, or apply your own custom ACT, CPT, or RGB color table.
• Save plots to disk GIF, JPEG, PNG or TIFF bitmap images or as PDF or PostScript graphics files.
• Export lon-lat map plots in KMZ format.
• Open remote netCDF and HDF dataset stored on an HTTP/HTTPS website or in an S3 bucket.
• Explore remote THREDDS and OPenDAP catalogs and open datasets served from them.
• Export animations as MP4 video or as a collection of invididual frame images.
