My name is Chao, a Phd student from University of Texas at Dallas. I have installed NCL on my Mac and run the code by putting them into my Terminal. I have known that using script is more convenient. But I don’t know how to make a NCL script on my MAC. I really hope you can help me!<br>
<br>
Thank you very much!<br>
Yours,<br>
Chao<br>
