<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>You are saying the if the variable "ntimes" is, say, 10, then you end up with 10 distinct PDF files?

<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma;color:#000000;font-size:10pt">Hi there,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm currently plotting absolute vorticity at every 10 minutes from one of my WRF outputs and wish to plot all the outputs in one plot PDF. I've attached an example that has been produced in the past (ignore the added graphics). My current loop plots each
output as a separate PDF. I've added my .ncl script and added a version to the end of this email.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any help?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
