Re: meteogram script for WRF model

I do not understand:

"I've created a very convoluted script (driven by a Python script) that
grabs output from separate files"

Why use an external script [Python/Csh/Ruby/...]??? You can use addfiles

  fils = systemfunc("ls wrfout_d01_2006-09*00:00:00") ; 3 files each
has 9 time steps
  print(fils)
  f = addfiles(fils+".nc","r") ; f is of type "list"
  print( f[0] ) ; each element of the
list is of type "file"
  V = f[:]->V
  printVarSummary(V)

Variable: V
