I have a netCDF file with precipitation output for one year. I have a problem with aligning the basemap and netCDF file, and plot them in the same coordinate system. The netCDF file covers the Himalaya region. Here is a sample of my longitudes: array([-1595000., -1585000., -1575000., -1565000., -1555000., -1545000., -1535000., -1525000., -1515000., -1505000., -1495000., -1485000., len(lons) = 320 and here my latitudes: array([ 4195000., 4185000., 4175000., 4165000., 4155000., 4145000., 4135000., 4125000., 4115000., 4105000., 4095000., 4085000., len(lats) = 190 ### Next I define a projection with Proj4 notation, to transform from UTM_45N to latlon latlon = pyproj.Proj("+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs") ### Define projection using EPSG codes UTM_45N = pyproj.Proj("+init=EPSG:32645") ### Transform from UTM to latlon tr_lons, tr_lats = pyproj.transform(UTM_45N, latlon, lons, lats) > --> RuntimeError: x,y and z must be same size When converting using transform, the lons and lats should be the same length, so this does not work. Alternatively, I could plot the netCDF file and basemap in UTM zone 45N. However, basemap does not support EPSG code 32645 > --> ValueError: 32645 is not a supported EPSG code ### Plot data m = Basemap(projection='tmerc', resolution='l', height=3000000, width=3000000, lat_0=27.5, lon_0=82.5) cs = m.pcolormesh(lons, lats, np.squeeze(prec_mean[0])) Any ideas what's going wrong, or suggestions for a different approach? Thank you. [![netCDF file located in the far north-east of the basemap][1]][1] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/1TPXH.png
