Subject: An NCL Mystery (regarding writing to wrfinput_d03)
To: ncl-talk <ncl-talk at ucar.edu>


Hello:

I wrote a program (feed_data.ncl -- with a bit of help from Dennis, Mary,
etc) to read an ascii file and write the data to the variable "l_obs" in
the wrfinput_d03.nc file.

When I read the asci file and then write the data to wrfinput_d03.nc, and
then plot the data (using l_obs_map.ncl) it looks absolutely fine
(attached).

However, when I access the data within the WRF itself it is not located at
the correct indices.  For instance, points that should be at about latitude
30.95, longitude 36.6 are at latitude 28, longitude 35).

I realize that there is a switching of indices from the NCL to the WRF, but
I assumed that this was done correctly/automatically​
 lobs_output_1.3km.txt
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3E3GjUeKpBdMTJGOHd0R00ya0E/view?usp=drive_web>
​ as the size of the array in wrfinput_d03 is correct.

Just to reiterate, I can read the data with ncl from wrfinput_d03.nc and
map it (and it corresponds to what I see using a different mapping
program).  However, when I access the array in the WRF, as
l_obs(i,k_lev,j), where k_lev is the time increment, it is not in the
correct location.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Barry
