Re: loading contributed.ncl in a where document fails with ncl 6.2.0

Keith,

There are two things here.

1. In 6.2.0, you do not need to load contributed.ncl yourself again, as NCL has loaded it already.

2. You may want to change this script to:

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"
begin
end
