NCL > What's New

What's coming up in the next release of NCL

Version 5.2.0 - December 2009


New functions


Updated functions


Bugs fixed

  • Another bug in the recent implementation of aggregated variable subscripting for the file list returned by the addfiles function was found in version 5.1.1 and has now been fixed. It involves selection along the aggregated dimension only when using vector subscripting. The problem occurs when a selection results in a single element being accessed along the aggregated dimension for any file in the list. The symptoms of this problem range from possible core dumps to returned variables that have fewer coordinate variables than expected along with odd mix-ups between the coordinate variables that are present. Users are advised to avoid using vector subscripting along the aggregated dimension if there is a possibility that only one element is selected from any of the files in the list.

  • int2p_Wrap

    The argument prototype xo[*]:numeric is no longer applicable. The function allows the xo to be multidimensional.

  • mjo_xcor_lag_season

    Added a statment that fixes a possible numerical rounding issue.

  • rho_mwjf

    Dr. Arne Melson [Norwegian Meteorological Institute, R & D - Oceanography ] noted that the results were applicable for computing surface potential density only, i.e., where depth=0. A modification has since been applied [version 5.2.0] to accurately compute all density surfaces (depth >= 0).

  • rcm2points_Wrap

    Corrected an interface error.

  • skewT_PlotData

    Fixed an issue that occured when the attribute [resource] ThermoInfo was set to False.

  • WindRoseBasic

    Allows the wspd and wdir to be multidimensional.

  • WindRoseColor

    Allows the wspd and wdir to be multidimensional.

  • WindRoseThickLine

    Allows the wspd and wdir to be multidimensional.
