WRF
Some of the functions below are built into NCL, while some of them are part of the WRFUserARW.ncl script, which is a library of functions and procedures written to help users plot ARW WRF model data.More information on using NCL with ARW WRF is available from the ARW WRF Users Web site at http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/Graphics/NCL/.
WRF-related questions should be sent to wrfhelp@ucar.edu.
