[ncl-talk] (advect_variable) is undefined, can't continue

[Xi Chang]

Thanks guys for a quick reply.
I have one more concern, in the example of "temperature advection" why the
units in m.K/s instead of K/s?? is it also a typo? how does this fubction
compute the gradient? i assume the gradient must be in K/m in lon and lat
direction.
