Re: problem with "closest_val"

Unexpected results from closest_val has been discussed before.

Either use the short substitute function shown at the bottom of the
function documentation page:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/closest_val.shtml

Or else use this, which is the same thing:

   i = minind (abs (xarray - x))
