Hi Ken,

thanks for the reply. From your suggestion, I was playing more with the different output types available, and I am not sure why, but it works now. If I read the data using spherical coordinates checked and the output type set to image, the data is actually read in as 2D lon/lat representation, but with the data represented as cells and not as points. I always believed that with the spherical coordinate settings checked, the output would be represented on a sphere, but its obviously not. Good for me. Thanks again.

Cheers,
Niklas

Niklas,

My first question is, are the data actually being read in as a point data field 
or a cell data field? If you go to the Information panel, what does it say the 
data are?

I'm not at my computer to check this, but I believe that if you read data as a lon/lat projection, the mesh 
is most likely read as a 2D "image", and if so, that is rendered with the "slice" 
representation. If that's the case, can you try changing the representation to "surface"?

Dear All,

I have a very low resolution netCDF that I would like to visualize as cell data 
using lon/lat projection. Reading the data using lon/lat projection, the 
variables are represented as point data (image1). If the data is read in 
spherical, the variables are represented as cell data (image2). Comparing both, 
shows that some features are missing in the lon/lat projection, see for example 
central America and Spain. Applying a PointDataToCellData filter to the point 
data in lon/lat smoothes these features away completely (image3).
Is there a possibility to visualize the data correctly, as shown with spherical 
projection, but in lon/lat? Or can the point data somehow be dilated so that central 
America and half of Europe are not "filtered" out?

Thanks for any help!
Cheers, Niklas
