Global RTOFS continued: vertical T/S profiles

I'm primarily interested in extracing depth profiles of temperature/salinity from the model, here's an example of how to do it.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import netCDF4

mydate='20111101'
url_temp='http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/rtofs/rtofs_global'+mydate+'/rtofs_glo_3dz_forecast_daily_temp'
file = netCDF4.Dataset(url_temp)
lat  = file.variables['lat'][:]
lon  = file.variables['lon'][:]
data_temp = file.variables['temperature'][1,:,1000,2000]
depths=file.variables['lev'][:]
file.close
url_salt='http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/rtofs/rtofs_global'+mydate+'/rtofs_glo_3dz_forecast_daily_salt'
file = netCDF4.Dataset(url_salt)
data_salt = file.variables['salinity'][1,:,1000,2000]
plt.figure()
plt.plot(data_temp,-depths)
plt.xlabel("Potential Temperature (re 2000m)")plt.ylabel("Depth (m)")
plt.figure()
plt.plot(data_salt,-depths)
plt.xlabel("Salinity (psu)")
plt.ylabel("Depth (m)")

And that's it!  A few figures below to show the plots.
