Hello List,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to make some plots from Rapid Refresh (RAP)
data--specifically I wanted to plot winds at different levels. Can
anyone point me to an NCL application example that would involve
similar steps to what I need to go through to make plots?<br>
<br>
In general I get confused going from an arbitrary model coordinate
system to coordinate variables that NCL needs for plotting.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
