<p>Hello ncl-talk,</p>
<p>I am trying to make "circulation vectors" in a vertical cross
section, akin to what RIP does. I am using wrf_vector with either
u and w (for W-E cross sections) or v and w (for N-S cross
sections). The documentation for wrf_vector specifically talks
about using both u- and v-components of the wind (not w), but it
seems to be working for me. Is there any pitfall with doing this
that I need to be aware of?</p>
<p>Also, if that works and I want to make an oblique cross section,
would the easiest thing to do be to find the magnitude of the
vector sum of the u and v-components and then project that into
the vertical plane using the cosine of the angle? <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Jim</p>
