Re: divergence functions

How does ncl handles the units in divergence calculations? For example in
the function documentation for uv2dv_cfd:

  dv(j,i) = (v(j+1,i)-v(j-1,i))/dy2(j) + (u(j,i+1)-u(j,i-1))/dx2(j) -
(v(j,i)/a)*tan(phi(j))

   If u and v are in m/s, does ncl ensure that dy2 and dx2 are in metres?

Thanks
