Re: Problems with EOF application example

Hi,

For whatever reason, the variable "slp" in the file is named in lower
case, whereas the script has it in upper case; NCL is case-
sensitive. Changing the line in the script
        
        slp = f->SLP

to

        slp = f->slp

should fix the problem. We'll likely fix the script on the web site.
