Greetings NCL users,
Yes, it is finally here, the much anticipated 5.1.0 release of NCL!
A full description of the new features and functionality can be
found at:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/new_release.shtml
Here's a subset of what's available in this release:
- Many functions added or updated, including:
...new diagnostics functions for evaluating the MJO
...major updates to WRF-NCL plotting functions, as well as
several new analysis functions added
...functions for converting b/w UTM and lat/lon coordinates
..."ut_calendar" updated to handle "noleap", "360", and "365"
calendars (thanks to David Pierce, UCSD, developer of ncview,
for his contribution)
..."addfiles" updated to return metadata. "addfiles_GetVar" will
no longer be needed.
- Can now create longs, shorts, and bytes "on the fly".
- New graphical resources added.
- The usual bugs fixed.
Special note for Linux users: if you get an error about the
"libgfortran.so.x" library not being available, then check to see if
there's an "ncl.static" binary:
which ncl.static
ncl.static your_script.ncl
If it works, then you can replace the "non-static" ncl with this one:
mv $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl.dynamic
ln -s $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl.static $NCARG_ROOT/bin/ncl
