Hi NCL users. I am trying to plot the TRMM 2A12 V7 data which is ORBITAL data in the HDF4 format. This has hydrometeor profiles upto 18km in atmosphere and these are not available directly. I am attaching the documentation for 2A12 . I am unable to extract the hydrometeors at different levels from this data. 
The Pg 118 of the file filespec.TRMM.V7.pdf decribes that two arrays have to be multiplied in order to get a profile. I get error like this.      byte clusterNumber ( nscan, npixel, nspecies )         hdf_name : clusterNumber
      float clusterScale ( nscan, npixel, nspecies )         hdf_name : clusterScale
