Re: fatal:Div: operator failed, can't continue

I am sure that if you print the minimum value
of RH you will see that it is zero.

eg

print("min(RH)="+min(RH)+" max(RH)="+max(RH))
min(RH)=0 max(RH)=.....

Hence,

qs = (qv/RH)*100

will fail.

You can use the "where" function

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/where.shtml

Please read the "Description" section. In particular, the
"Caveat" section

Good luck
