[ncl-talk] WRF Time labels - repost

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Prasad,
Can you send ncl-talk the output from the following printVarSummary call:
time_axis_labels(Time_0,restime,restick)
*printVarSummary(restime)*
*printVarSummary(ua(:,:,100,100))*
contour_vor  = wrf_contour(sfile,wks,ua(:,:,100,100),restime)
Adam
