[ncl-talk] wrf_ functions not necessarily WRF-specific?

[Deniz Bozkurt]

Hi Jim,

Once upon a time, I had asked the similar question and here is the good response from Bill Ladwig:

However, while researching how to compute convective inhibition (CIN) from RAP fields I came to the conclusion that those functions are NOT necessarily WRF-specific, and that it might be possible for me to use wrf_cape3d to calculate CIN from the RAP model.
