[ncl-talk] Question about addition of coriolis parameter (1Darray) and a variable(4D-aray)

[Lyndz]

Dear NCL-experts,

I am calculating vorticity tendency using the following equation (also
attached in this email):
I want to add the coriolis parameter (1D) and the calculated relative
vorticity (4D) before calculating its advection. These two parameters have
dimensions.

Below is the part  that calculates the vorticity using spherical harmonics
and the coriolis parameter.
;************************************************
; variable and file handling
;************************************************
  f   = addfile("../ncep_6h_jan.nc","r")       ; open netcdf file
  u   = f->U_GRD_2_ISBL(:,:,:,:)            ; pull u off file
  v   = f->V_GRD_2_ISBL(:,:,:,:)            ; pull v off file
  u = u(:,:,::-1,:)                         ;for speherical harmonics
  v = v(:,:,::-1,:)
;************************************************
; calculate vorticity on a Fixed Grid
;************************************************
*  vr = uv2vrF_Wrap(u,v)*
  printVarSummary(vr)

  vr at long_name = "vorticity"
  vr at units     = "per second"
;************************************************
;calculate coriolis parameter
;************************************************
  lat = vr&lat
*  flat = coriolis_param(lat)*

[1] I apologize, I think this is a basic question. How do add the coriolis
parameter to the calculated vorticity? I already know how to get the
advection, I only got stuck in this part.

I'll appreciate any help.


Sincerely,

*Lyndz*
