Re: Question about modifying diagnostics_cam.ncl

line 1346:

   total = asym(:,:) + sym(:,:)

I do not know what you mean by "whenever I add the symmetric and
antisymmetric parts it seems that it is also adding the argument
of the arrays"

When using whole arrays, it is more efficient to
not use the (:,:) notation, so

   total = asym + sym ; (:,:)

Further, I would add

   copy_VarMeta(asym, total)
   total@long_name = "asym+sym"

The graphics routines are looking for this information
Try and see what happens.

====
When debugging use "printVarSummary" frequently.

I will help ... up to a point... That set of diagnostics was
developed for our "CAM" model hence, diagnostics_cam.ncl

It has proved fairly robust to other datasets and models
but when code is modified, I just do not have the time
to trace assorted issues.

Good Luck
