There are two helicity functions in RIP. First, similar to this from
NCL is in relh.f file. Second is in sstats.f file. Both files
attached.
There can't be misunderstanding in RIP script, because there is no
input/output units:

#feld=slp; ptyp=hc; colr=med.gray; cint=4; linw=0.75; smth=5; nohl; nolb
feld=map; ptyp=hb
feld=tic; ptyp=hb

That's all.

In NCL script i use example from NCL website.
Do, or I do something wrong, or there is something wrong with the
wrf_helicity function.
