Re: Problem with WRF Diagnostics in current NCL version

Hi Manisha,

As another quick test, you can type:

grep cape_3d $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/wrf/WRFUserARW.ncl

to see your version of WRFUserARW.ncl recognizes this variable. You should see output like this:

  if( any( variable .eq. (/"cape_3d","cape_2d"/) ) ) then
       if( variable .eq. "cape_3d" ) then
         cape = wrf_cape_3d( P, tk, QV, z, HGT, PSFC, True )

If you have V5.2.1 and are still getting this message, then you need to make sure
that your NCARG_ROOT is pointing to the 5.2.1 version, and not some older
version of NCL.
