Section of current at a single latitude.i have a NetCDF file with current components as u and v.

Hii Khalifa,
The target latitude where current section to be defined needs to be compared with the latitude in the dataset and closet latitude has to be identified.Extract the U and V components of the current at this latitude and compute the magnitude. Use the “pcolor” function to plot the current magnitude, with longitude represented on the x-axis and depth on the y-axis.
Kindly refer to the following documentations for “pcolor” function:
I hope this helps!
%Custom dataset
longitudes = linspace(-180, 180, 50);
latitudes = linspace(-90, 90, 30);
depths = linspace(0, 5000, 20);
% Generate synthetic current data
[lon_grid, lat_grid, depth_grid] = ndgrid(longitudes, latitudes, depths);
U = 0.1 * sin(2 * pi * lon_grid / 360) .* cos(2 * pi * lat_grid / 180) .* exp(-depth_grid / 2000);
V = 0.1 * cos(2 * pi * lon_grid / 360) .* sin(2 * pi * lat_grid / 180) .* exp(-depth_grid / 2000);
% Save the dataset
save('custom_current_data.mat', 'U', 'V', 'longitudes', 'latitudes', 'depths');
Code for plotting the current section
% Load the dataset
load('custom_current_data.mat'); % Replace with your actual data file
% Define the target latitude
target_lat = 30;
% Find the index of the closest latitude
[~, lat_idx] = min(abs(latitudes - target_lat));
% Extract the current data at the given latitude
U_section = squeeze(U(:, lat_idx, :));
V_section = squeeze(V(:, lat_idx, :));
% current magnitude
current_magnitude = sqrt(U_section.^2 + V_section.^2);
% Plot the section
figure;
pcolor(longitudes, depths, current_magnitude');
shading interp;
colorbar;
xlabel('Longitude');
ylabel('Depth');
title(['Current Magnitude at Latitude ', num2str(target_lat)]);
set(gca, 'YDir', 'reverse'); % Reverse the Y-axis to have depth increasing downwards
