Re: Getting 10m Winds out of NARR data

While I'm at it, I'm also going to want to plot 500mb heights
from NARR, and I'm wondering if someone knows specifically
which variable and level I'd go for.

Most importantly, is there a document that spells this out
clearly? Right now I feel like I'm using various sources
along with ncl_filedump, wgrib and gribdump to arrive at
my less-than-definitive conclusions.

Thanks,

Don
