Graphics: NCL - Sample 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   CAPE dBZ PW Vorticity helicity updraft_helicity (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 Skew_T
Overlay and Zoom Overlay Zoom Overlay & Zoom	Panel Plots Panel 1 Panel 2	Overlay Domains Overlay 2 domains
Moving Nest Moving Nest Keeping a fixed background for moving nest domain	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)	Global WRF   gWRF_merc	Idealized cases wrf_Grav2x wrf_Hill2d wrf_Squall_2d_x wrf_Squall_2d_y wrf_Seabreeze2x wrf_BWave wrf_QSS
Time Slice Plots Meteograms WRF Time Series data	Track Cyclone Plot Cyclone Vortex	Wind Roses Create a wind rose	Preview Domain Preview Note: This example script makes use to the WPS namelist directly
