Re: dimension problem with rgrid2rcm

Hi Paula

The error message
fatal:Number of dimensions in parameter (3) of (rgrid2rcm_Wrap) is (3),
(2) dimensions were expected

NCL uses zero as the base

slp_regridded = rgrid2rcm_Wrap(slp&lat_3, slp&lon_3, slp, lat2d, lon2d)

parameter 0 is slp&lat_3
parameter 1 is slp&lon_3
parameter 2 is slp
parameter 3 is lat2d
parameter 4 is lon2d

On WRF files

XLAT(Time, south_north, west_east)
XLONG(Time, south_north, west_east)

I speculate you did

lat2d = f->XLAT
lon2d = f->XLONG

Thus, lat2d and lon2d are three-dimensional.

printVarSummary(lat2d)

You should use

lat2d = f->XLAT(0,:,:)
lon2d = f->XLONG(0,:,:)

Then it should work.

Good Luck
