Re: Axis units in wrf_user_intrp3d()

Hi all,

This is just a quick note to let you know that we're updating the
wrf_user_latlon_to_ij, wrf_user_set_xy, and wrf_user_intrp3d
routines to allow for numeric input instead of
just float input. This will be available in the next release
of NCL, probably October some time.
