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

[Dennis Shea]

See: I modified a script I had. This has extra 'stuff; in it like EOFs but
the 1st part calculates the *local vorticity tendency*

*https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/wind.shtml*
<https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/wind.shtml>
*Example 6*
=========================================
*https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/gradients.shtml*
<https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/gradients.shtml>
Bottom two examples:* shear_stretch_deform, qvector*

Cheers
