[ncl-talk] Query- error while running cyclone track script

Guarav,
We ask people to CC ncl-talk whenever you have follow-up questions, unless
we specifically ask to take the conversation offline.
Your script is hard-coded to your files and it's not really the same if I
just plug in any random WRF output files.
For example, you have this:
date = (/2812,2900,2912,3000,3012,3100/)
sdate = sprinti("%4.0i",date)
I don't know what these values are.
I changed them to just use a subset of the wrf output file names, just so I
could get the script to work:
sdate = str_get_cols(fs,16,26)
Making a few other minor changes to the script, I was able to get a plot.
However, it's a bit nonsensical because I'm using some dummy WRF output
data.
See the attached track_mod.ncl script and the resultant image I got.
If you continue to have problems with this, we can't keep debugging it
without your data files to try it on.
Thanks for your consideration,
--Mary
