Re: array definitions

In reverse order:

[1] creating a time dimension of size 1

   ntim = 1
   YesNoArray = new((/ntim, dimlc(0),dimlc(1)/),integer) ; time, lat, lon
   UArray = new((/ntim, dimlc(0),dimlc(1)/),float)
   VArray = new((/ntim, dimlc(0),dimlc(1)/),float)

   YesNoArray = 1 ; array syntax; se all values to 1
   UArray(0,tempj,tempi) = u_wnd(k)
   VArray(0,tempj,tempi) = v_wnd(k)

[2] No harm but there is no reason to do the following.

   nlat!0 = "lat"
   mlon!0 = "lon"

[3] FYI: You can force NCL to read the GRIB file with a singleton
     dimension (aka, degenerate dimension). Add the following
     to your code

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/setfileoption.shtml

     setfileoption("grb","SingleElementDimensions","Initial_time")
     f = addfile (filename, "r")

     u = f->U_GRD_221_ISBL ; (time,lev,j,i)
     v = f->V_GRD_221_ISBL
     msl = f->PRMSL_221_MSL ; (time,j,i)

Also, you can use the following to 'see' the file

     %> ncl_filedump -itime foo.grb | less

[4] Unless the 'jet profile signature' data file jet_{lat/lon} match
     exactly with the structure of the NARR grid, it seem to me that
     you must do some interpolation.

     Since there is no info provided on the 'jet profile signature'
     data file, there is not much advice that can be offered.
