Re: Read RIP4 Trajectories by NCL

Dear Dr. Shea,

The information you provided is very useful, providing the meanings of
several variables in showtraj.f, one of the source codes for RIP4.

However, I just switched to hysplit and get the trajectories nicely and
easily to be read by NCL.

Thanks again for the help!

Best Regards,

Xiaoming
