[ncl-talk] Are recent versions of contributed.ncl backward-compatible?

[Guido Cioni]

Hey Daniel,
I’m sure that someone will be more useful than me but…aren’t GRIB library supposed to be independent from NCL?
Maybe there is something wrong on GRIB API and not on the installation of NCL, or maybe you didn’t set the GRIB_API path properly? Just saying, don’t know whether it is relevant or not :) 

Cheers

I requested an update and got turned down by the IT folks; their reason had something to do with old netCDF packages and an eventual upgrade of our Linux environment, at which time it would be easier to upgrade. In the meantime I tried to unpack the latest binaries into my personal work directory and set paths appropriately, but sure enough there were some serious problems, like not being able to read variables out of a GRIB file. I have therefore mostly resigned myself to working with 6.1.2, but this morning I thought that a lot of the functions I am pining for reside in contributed.ncl, so I was wondering if I could point to the contributed.ncl that came with 6.3.0 while still running 6.1.2? And what about the ESMF regridding, could I point to the ESMF_regridding.ncl script and use those functions as well?
