[ncl-talk] Only 3 hours of cloudfrac retreived

[Zilore Mumba]

Hello,
I am trying to retrieve cloudfrac every hour from wrfout files at specific
locations.
The command I use is
cld = wrf_user_getvar(a,"cfrac",-1)
 Lowcl = cld(:,2,idxlat,idxlon)
 Medcl = cld(:,3,idxlat,idxlon)

where idxlat,idxlon have been defined as
xlat=a[:]->XLAT(0,:,:)
xlon=a[:]->XLONG(0,:,:)
 idxlat=closest_val(lat, xlat(:,0))
 idxlon=closest_val(lon, xlon(0,:))

When I print  Lowcl,  Medcl
I only get three values at the hours 00, 01 and 02 from files going to 144
hours. I was expecting a value every hour.
How is cloudfrac calculated, or what am I doing wrong?
