Re: read a variable from another NCL script

Yi-Chih,

Change one of the scripts into an NCL function or NCL procedure. Then just
call that script from the other script.

There are at least three ways to pass the variable. You can pass it as a
calling parameter, a function result, or a global variable. This is all
described in the reference manual:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/Ref_Manual/NclStatements.shtml#FunctionAndProcedureDefinitions

If you will be computing the same variable with the same numbers many
times, then it would be more efficient to follow Kyle's suggestion and
write the variable to a Netcdf file, then read it from the second script.

this with WRAPIT, or knows that it is not possible, please chime in.
