Here you go the top part of my "wrf_Precip2.ncl" script
====================================================================
; Example script to produce plots for a WRF real-data run,
; with the ARW coordinate dynamics option.
; In this example we first get the entire field over time, which will
; make it easier to calculate tendencies

==============================================================
For your convenience I would like to let you know that I have
generated the attached graphics by setting the following environmental
variable using the same data set with another script
(http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/WRF_pcp_1.ncl)
load
"/scinet/gpc/Applications6/ncl/6.1.0/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load
"/scinet/gpc/Applications6/ncl/6.1.0/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
load"/scinet/gpc/Applications6/ncl/6.1.0/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/wrf/WRFUserARW.ncl"
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks
Kamal
