Re: simple question: adding a parameter to a WRF output file

Thanks, Mary.

I did try that last night, but the wrfout I'm working on is fairly big,
and things were progressing so slowly I'd thought I had something
broken. I'm processing the data now to see how it'll look in VAPOR, and
ncl_filedump tells me I likely have a couple of small tweaks to make
before this is all resolved, anyway.

Appreciate the help!
Regards, Gerry
