I'm trying to plot the variable T2 (temperature at 2meters) from my netCDF file, made in Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. I was following the example of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJurb-IPKM8
Here is my code:
filename = 'wrfout_d03_2018-06-01_00';
ncdisp(filename);
temp = ncread (filename,'T2');
lat = ncread (filename,'XLAT');
lon = ncread (filename,'XLONG');
mapin = pcolor(lon,lat,temp')
load coast
hold on
plot(long,lat,'k','LineWidth',1.5)
plot(long+360,lat,'k','LineWidth',1.5)
The problem is that my variables have 3 dimensions instead of 2. Is there any way of get latitude and longitude from variables XLAT and XLONG?

What is the depth variable in meters which defines depth in the file? I assume it to be ZS..if I am no tmistaken. There is no 4 meters values in that.

Sorry, I'm not getting your question. T2 it's temperature at 2 meters of height. I guess this is my problem:
