Re: NCL Wrapit + memory question

Hi Jon,

In a case like this, it might help if you could provide your datasets as well so we can try running the script.

However, before we go that route, we can try some other things.

First, how are you determining that the memory is growing? From looking at the script, it does look like you are doing the right thing with the "delete" command. It also looks like you are doing a good job of defining the NetCDF file before you write to it.

The issue may be more with your nested do loops and not the Fortran code.

How big are your loops? That is, how many iterations are you doing with these two loops:

  do yy = s_yy, e_yy

     do z = 0, n_lev-1

?

Also, what version of NCL are you using?

ncl -V

I was under the impression that non-allocated memory in the subroutine would be removed at the 'end' command, but maybe this isn't the case for how I've coded mine.
