Re: varible name

?better?

function createVar(longName[1]:string, units[1]:string)
begin
   x = new ((/10, 64, 128/), double)
   x!0 = "time"
   x!1 = "lat"
   x!2 = "lon"
   x@long_name = long_name
   x@units = units
   return( x)
end

   xNEWi_temp = createVar("temperature", "K")
   xNEWi_pcp = createVar(...)
   xNEWi_dlw = createVar(...)
   xNEWi_dsw = createVar(...)

   printVarSummary(xNEWi_temp)

===========================================

If you are creating your own library of NCL functions
(say, "MyLib.ncl"), then place the function in it

load "MyLib.ncl"

   xNEWi_temp = createVar("temperature", "K")
   xNEWi_pcp = createVar(...)
   xNEWi_dlw = createVar(...)
   xNEWi_dsw = createVar(...)

   printVarSummary(xNEWi_temp)
