I apologize if this is real elementary or off-topic, but
I "think" NCL might be what I'm looking for. I've
looked and looked on the web and can't find anything
that specifically addresses this, yet I'm sure it must
be a common requirement for many.
I want to grab output files from WRF (netCDF) and
retrieve station data for a number of locations.
Essentially, I want to be able to plug in a lat/lon/elevation/time
and get the values for specified variables at these single points.
Ultimately, I'd compare these with observed data.
I've gotten the impression that NCL is much like Unix in the sense
that it provides lots of tools that just need to be strung together
in the right way, but I'm not really sure where I'd start, and
I'm wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right
direction. Is NCL indeed the direction I want to be looking in,
or are there other more appropriate tools I might want to consider?
If you haven't already figured it out, I know a little of what NCL is
all about, but haven't quite made the "plunge" yet and am wondering
if this might be the best "black hole" to jump into :)
Thanks for any help,
Don
