error in computation / new function

Is there anyway to obtain one of the future release functions (wrf_rip_dbz)?

I have been trying to make a simple radar reflectivity cross section work
with NCL:
a = qrain + 0.2*qsnow + 2.*graup
b = a*264083.11
radar = 17.8*log10(b)

Now the results, consistent with a previous log10 discussion, gives nan for
values less than zero and -inf for zero values. Looks like there are LOTS of
missing values from my computation, but I am not sure how to get around
this.

but for this plot I am making a vertical cross section between points A and
B.

rad_plane = wrf_user_intrp3d(radar,p,"v",plane,0.,True)

the maximum value for radar is 67, but the max value after interpolation is
-28.

Perhaps the interpolation function (wrf_user_intrp3d) doesnt handle missing
values?
