[ncl-talk] How to extract diabatic heating from Potential Vorticity function in NCL

[Dennis Shea]

NCL's function is for isobaric (pressure) surfaces.

Your attachment uses a formulation for sigma  coordinates.

I don't think the components calculated in NCL's function can readily be
used to
"extract the diabatic heating (based on potential temperature)"

=============
Sorry
