Dear Sir Dennis,

Than you so much for the help.

When I ncdump the output file I got these lines:
Im not sure how to change the "dimensions" of thetae to thetae(Time,
lev,lat lon)

I attached the filedump of the wrfout file in this email.

****

netcdf Thetae_G3D_Thomp_ACM2 {

dimensions:

Time = UNLIMITED ; // (25 currently)

bottom_top = 34 ;

south_north = 99 ;

west_east = 99 ;

variables:

float thetae(Time, bottom_top, south_north, west_east) ;

thetae:units = "K" ;

thetae:description = "Equivalent Potential Temperature" ;

float XLAT(Time, south_north, west_east) ;

XLAT:FieldType = 104 ;

XLAT:MemoryOrder = "XY " ;

XLAT:description = "LATITUDE, SOUTH IS NEGATIVE" ;

XLAT:units = "degree_north" ;

XLAT:stagger = "" ;

XLAT:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT" ;

float XLON(Time, south_north, west_east) ;

XLON:FieldType = 104 ;

XLON:MemoryOrder = "XY " ;

XLON:description = "LONGITUDE, WEST IS NEGATIVE" ;

XLON:units = "degree_east" ;

XLON:stagger = "" ;

XLON:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT" ;

float LEV(Time, bottom_top, south_north, west_east) ;

LEV:FieldType = 104 ;

LEV:MemoryOrder = "XYZ" ;

LEV:description = "Pressure" ;

LEV:units = "hPa" ;

LEV:stagger = "" ;

LEV:coordinates = "XLONG XLAT XTIME" ;


// global attributes:

:creation_date = "Sat Feb 29 23:27:04 PST 2020" ;

:Conventions = "None" ;

:source_file = "WRF G3D_Thompson_ACM2" ;

:title = "Equivalent Potential Temperature" ;


*********


Sincerely,

Lyndz
