Graphics: NCL - Example Scripts
Below are a few sample scripts that illustrate how to use NCL for plotting ARW WRF data:
Basic Plots
Basic Plot Setup (This series of examples takes users though same basic steps in generating plotting scripts.) Get and plot a single field Multiple input files Plot all fields in a file
Basic Surface Plots
Surface 1 Surface 3 Surface 2 Surface with multiple input files
Plots on Model Levels
Clouds Levels from wrfout files Levels from metgrid files
Plots on Interpolated Levels
Height Levels Pressure Levels
Plotting Precipitation
Precipitation
Diagnostics
(More diagnostics are available, shown are only some newer/special diagnostics)
Cross-section Plots
Height - Through a Pivot Point Height - Point A to Point B Pressure Limited Vertical Extent For 2D fields Smooth terrain
Skew_T Plots

Overlay and Zoom

Panel Plots

Overlay Domains

Moving Nest

Precip Tendencies for a Moving Nest Keeping a fixed background for moving nest domain, and plotting rainfall tendencies in the overlapping regions Domain 1 and 2 Precip Tendencies on a single plot (domain 2 is a moving nest)
