Hi ncl-talkers,

I tried to plot a vertical cross-section of z-wind component using wrf_user_intrp3d but the it shows constants at given vertical levels.

Part of the codes are presented as follows; the dimensions and sizes of w & z is [bottom_top | 34] x [south_north | 201] x [west_east | 201] .

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  lat1 = 5; north_degrees
  lat2 = 29
  lon1 = 129; east_degrees
  lon2 = 134

  f = addfile(FILE, "r")
  w = wrf_user_getvar(f, "wa", 0)
  z = wrf_user_getvar(f, "z", 0)
  lat = wrf_user_getvar(f, "lat", 0)
  lon = wrf_user_getvar(f, "lon", 0)

  lat1d = lat(:,0)
  lon1d = lon(0,:)

  ilat = ind(lat1d .ge. lat1 .and. lat1d .le. lat2)
  minilat = min(ilat)
  maxilat = max(ilat)

  ilon = ind(lon1d .ge. lon1 .and. lon1d .le. lon2)
  minilon = min(ilon)
  maxilon = max(ilon)

  print(minilon); 27
  print(maxilon); 200
  print(minilat); 0
  print(maxilat); 200

  opts = True
  plane = (/minilat, minilon,maxilat, maxilon/)
  print(plane)
; (0) 0
; (1) 27
; (2) 200
; (3) 200

  w_plane = wrf_user_intrp3d(w, z, "v", plane, 0., opts)
  printVarSummary(w_plane)
; Variable: w_plane
; Type: float
; Total Size: 105600 bytes
; 26400 values
; Number of Dimensions: 2
; Dimensions and sizes: [Vertical | 100] x [Horizontal | 264]
; Coordinates:
; Number Of Attributes: 4
; _FillValue : 9.96921e+36
; units : m s-1
; description : z-wind component
; Orientation : Cross-Sesion: (0,27) to (0,27)

  wks = gsn_open_wks(pltype, pltname)
  plot = wrf_contour(f, wks, w_plane, False)
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Could anyone help me to fix this plot? Plus, Why the dimensions and sizes of w_plane is [Vertical | 100] x [Horizontal | 264]?

Any help will be appreciated,

Sha
