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
Basic Surface Plots
Surface 1 Surface 3 Surface 2
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
CAPE dBZ PW Vorticity (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
Skew_T Plots
Skew_T
Specialty Plots

Preview Note: This example script makes use to the WPS namelist directly
Split files
Use split files as one
Overlay Domains
Overlay 2 domains
Moving Nest
Moving Nest Keeping a fixed background for moving nest domain
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)
Wind Roses
Create a wind rose
