[ncl-talk] Help : Error when extracting time from wrfout file

[Sundar J]

Hi all,

This is my first try to generate MSLP chart with ncl. With the same data I
used to plot mslp using python earlier. Therefore, there is no issue with
the wrfout file.

I am on Ubuntu 6.10 with ncl version 6.3.0 installed (from the repo). I had
a script which does the plotting of sea level pressure. Evertime I run the
script I complain about the requirement of 'element'. The complete erroe
message produced in terminal is:-

The script I used is attached for your reference. It would be nice if any
one can point me in the right direction to solve the issue. I am unable to
move forward beyond this issue.

Regards.
