[ncl-talk] Sim reflectivity not plotting

[Kacie Shourd]

Hey Ryan,

Could you do a printVarSummary on dbz? I don't think it has to be interpolated to a plane. I could be wrong, but I know mdbz doesn't have to be. Change

contour = wrf_contour(a,wks,dbz_plane(:,:),opts)

to

contour = wrf_contour(a,wks,dbz,opts)

and see if that works.

:)
Best
Kacie

Hi,

Any idea why sim reflec isn't plotting?  It's the baseline script which I've been using and modifying for many months, but suddenly today, nothing.  No error, but no contours generated.

The WRF run has weather there: a Low, and accumulating rain, so it's surprising there's no sim reflec.

I have do_radar_reflec = 1 in the namelist, and I checked that the values weren't outside the range being plotted.  I tried switching from "dbz" to "REFL_10CM", and neither produces any contours.

     dbz = wrf_user_getvar(a,"dbz",it)
     z = wrf_user_getvar(a,"z",it)

     height = 2000.     ; 2 km
     dbz_plane  = wrf_user_intrp3d(dbz,z,"h",height,0.,False)

     opts = res
     opts at cnFillOn = True
     opts at ContourParameters = (/ 10., 50., 2./)
     contour = wrf_contour(a,wks,dbz_plane(:,:),opts)     ; plot only lowest level
     plot = wrf_map_overlays(a,wks,(/contour/),pltres,mpres)


Thanks,
Ryan
