<p>Hi again</p>
<p>I think I found the answer with my question.</p>
<p>My data array is too big. When I reduce that data size to 1day (8
time steps), wrf_user_getvar function works.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Hi Mary</p>
<p>Maybe I should make it clear in my question.</p>
<p>wrf_user_getvar is working on 2D variables (in your case T2)
for multiple files.</p>
<p>It seems not working on 3D variable (in my example pressures of
model levels) for multiple files.</p>
<p>I used the way you used to open multiple wrfout files.</p>
<p>I can get by using do loop for each file, but it is kind of
slow.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<br>
Is there a problem (or bug) for following NCL statement<br>
<br>
wrf_P = wrf_user_getvar(a,"pressure",-<wbr>1)<br>
<br>
a is multiple wrfout files.<br>
<br>
When I changed time=-1 to single time step, the function
worked. It didn't work on multiple time steps.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
