Hi Rick,
Yes, $NCARG_ROOT is /usr/local/ncarg. When I type which ncl I get /usr/bin/ncl.
Thank you for your help, I am new to using NCL!Sara

Hi Sara,
It looks like NCL is not finding its supporting files, namely the font files and possibly the map database. From the errors, it looks like you have NCARG_ROOT set to "/usr/share/ncarg"? What is reported when you type:
which ncl
?

Hi there,
I was hoping for some help with a PlotcharData error. I am using ncl version 6.1.2 and gcc version (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04) 4.8.4.
I am trying to run the following ncl script:
; load functions and procedures
load "$NCARG_ROOT/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/nclscripts/wrf/WRFUserARW.ncl"
begin
; WRF ARW input file (NOTE, your wrfout file does not need the .nc,
; but NCL needs it so make sure to add it in the line below)
a = addfile("../wrfout_d01_2013-12-01_00:00:00.nc","r")
; Output on screen (type="x11"). Output will be called "plt_Surface1"
type = "x11"
wks = gsn_open_wks(type,"plt_Surface1")
; Set basic resources
res = True
res at MainTitle = "REAL-TIME WRF" ; Give plot a main title
res at Footer = False ; Set Footers off
pltres = True ; Plotting resources
mpres = True ; Map resources
;---------------------------------------------------------------
times = wrf_user_getvar(a,"times",-1) ; get all times in the file
ntimes = dimsizes(times) ; number of times in the file
it = 0 ; only interested in first time
res at TimeLabel = times(it) ; keep some time information
;---------------------------------------------------------------
; Get variables
slp = wrf_user_getvar(a,"slp",it) ;Get slp
wrf_smooth_2d( slp, 3 ) ; Smooth slp
t2 = wrf_user_getvar(a,"T2",it) ; Get T2 (deg K)
tc2 = t2-273.16 ; Convert to deg C
tc2 at units = "C"
u10 = wrf_user_getvar(a,"U10",it) ; Get U10
v10 = wrf_user_getvar(a,"V10",it) ; Get V10
u10 at units = "m/s"
v10 at units = "m/s"
;---------------------------------------------------------------
; Plotting options for T
opts = res ; Add basic resources
opts at cnFillOn = True ; Shaded plot
opts at ContourParameters = (/ -20., 90., 5./) ; Contour intervals
opts at gsnSpreadColorEnd = -3
contour_tc = wrf_contour(a,wks,tc2,opts) ; Create plot
delete(opts)
; Plotting options for SLP
opts = res ; Add basic resources
opts at cnLineColor = "Blue" ; Set line color
opts at cnHighLabelsOn = True ; Set labels
opts at cnLowLabelsOn = True
opts at ContourParameters = (/ 900.,1100.,4./) ; Contour intervals
contour_psl = wrf_contour(a,wks,slp,opts) ; Create plot
delete(opts)
; Plotting options for Wind Vectors
opts = res ; Add basic resources
opts at FieldTitle = "Winds" ; Overwrite the field title
opts at NumVectors = 47 ; Density of wind barbs
vector = wrf_vector(a,wks,u10,v10,opts) ; Create plot
delete(opts)
; MAKE PLOTS
plot = wrf_map_overlays(a,wks, \
(/contour_tc,contour_psl,vector/),pltres,mpres)
;---------------------------------------------------------------
end
But then I get the following error:Copyright (C) 1995-2013 - All Rights Reserved
