You can use the direct method to read *any* variable off a wrf output file. For example, if the variable is called "TKE":
a = addfile("wrfout.nc","r")
tke = a->TKE
You can then plot "tke" like you do any other variable that you read with "wrf_user_getvar".
You can also use "wrf_user_getvar" to pull off "TKE" directly:
tke = wrf_user_getvar(a,"TKE",-1)
If you need to do cross sections, you can also do this like you do any other variable. See the WRF examples on cross sections at:

Please do not email me directly if you have further questions about this. Questions should be directed to wrfhelp@ucar.edu if you have questions about WRF data, or to ncl-talk@ucar.edu if you have NCL-specific questions.

Thanks for your consideration,
