[ncl-talk] Problem in calculating CAPE

[Guido Cioni]

Did you read the documentation? 

https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/conform_dims.shtml <https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/conform_dims.shtml> especially  Example 4 

ndim
An array of dimension indexes to indicate which dimension sizes indicated by dims match the dimensions in r. Dimension numbering starts at the left and must be increasing. The leftmost dimension index is 0, the next dimension index is 1, and so on. If r is a scalar, then ndim can have the special value of -1 (see below).

You indicated ndim =0, that is lat if the variables are dimensioned as you are saying  (lat, lon, lev, time). Instead you are defining pressure as an height variable as far as I understand from your assignment 

>     p = (/ 10.000000, 20.000000, 30.000000, 50.000000, 70.000000,

> 1000.000000 /)

So you should do p = conform_dims (dimsizes(q),p,2).
