[pyngl-talk] reading intermediate WPS files

[Bill Ladwig]

Hi Marie,

Not currently, but NCL can read the WPS files.  I will make a ticket to add
this to the wrf-python package, but don't think this will make it in to the
soon-to-be released 1.0.0 version (beta versions are available now from
conda using the conda-forge channel if you want the diagnostic and
interpolation routines in python).

Here is the description of the WPS/intermediate binary files:

You should be able to use the struct, array, or scipy.io.FortranFile
modules from python to read/write the files, or you can modify the sample
Fortran code and use f2py to work in Fortran.

Hope this helps,

Bill
