a = *addfile*
<https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/addfile.shtml>
("/home/bsas/wrf_wind/WRF/test/em_real/wrfout_d03_2019-08-07_00:00:00.nc
","r")

print("a is of type "+*typeof*
<https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/typeof.shtml>(a))

*addfile* creates a 'pointer' of type "*file*"

===

lat1 = *a[0]*->XLAT(0,nlt,nln) ; nearest grid point

===
The [...] syntax is for a variable of type "list". Use *addfiles* which
produces a list of 'pointers'. Here, the list size would be one.

a = *addfiles*
<https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/addfiles.shtml>
("/home/bsas/wrf_wind/WRF/test/em_real/wrfout_d03_2019-08-07_00:00:00.nc
","r")
