 Can someone help me with a simple script to calculate dew point temperature (td) at say 500hPa on a WRF file. Specifically I am trying to calculate Total total index which is given as TTI=T(850 mb) + Td(850 mb) - 2[T(500 mb)].To start with I have the script below which is supposed to give me td. Somehow I am not able to go beyond this. print(td) prints what looks like surface dew points at all grid points. Whatever number I put instead of 6 in my script, the temperatures printed seem to be the same.Alternatively if someone has a script which calculates TTI, I will appreciate it if they can share.
begin
;---Open WRF output file.
  dir      = "/home/zmumba/DA/OUTPUT/2021081900/noda/"
  filename = "wrfout_d01_2021-08-19_00:00:00"
  f = addfile(dir + filename + ".nc","r")
  QVAPOR = f->QVAPOR(0,6,:,:)
    P      = f->P(0,6,:,:)
    PB     = f->PB(0,6,:,:)
    p      = P + PB
    td    = wrf_td( p , QVAPOR )
  printVarSummary(td)
  exit
  print(td)
end
